Untitled is a 1770 ink by Ippitsusai Bunchō, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man in a red-and-white outfit with bold patterns, standing on a green mat. He’s holding a fan and a scroll, wearing a black wig and sandals. Behind him, a wooden fence and a red banner with white writing fill the background. The banner’s characters and the man’s pose suggest he might be a performer. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene pop. Look up actor next to see how theater roles inspired this kind of art.
