Untitled is a 1740 ink by Furuyama Moromasa, a Baroque work, depicting interior, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This Japanese woodblock print from around 1740 shows a lively scene of people in a large room. The room is decorated with a few plants and a screen, and the people are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. Some are sitting on the floor, while others are standing or walking around. The print is done in a style that is reminiscent of Baroque art, with bold lines and vivid colors. The artist has used a technique called cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the image. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the people in the room are about to spring into action.
