Untitled is a 1714 ink by Kaigetsudō Doshin, a Baroque work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a person dressed in a long, flowing robe with bold black lines. The fabric has swirling patterns of leaves and waves, and the sleeves are wide and draped. Their hair is styled neatly, and they sit with one leg crossed, holding a fan. The artist used only ink for this print, creating deep shadows and textures with careful lines. This style was common in Japanese woodblock prints from the early 1700s. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
