Untitled is a 1769 ink by Ippitsusai Bunchō, a Romanticism work, depicting Tree, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a green robe holding a round fan, standing over a man on the ground. The man wears striped pants and a dark vest, holding a sword. Behind them, a tree with long, drooping branches fills the top of the picture. The background is simple—just a patch of grass and a hint of a roof. The woman’s face is calm, while the man looks tense, like he’s in trouble. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, with some shading on the man’s clothes. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shadows with lines.
