Untitled is a 2 ink by Katsukawa Shun'ei 勝川春英, a Romanticism work, depicting actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A woman in a long, patterned robe stands near a doorway, holding a folded fan in one hand and a woven basket in the other. Her black outer garment has white floral designs, and her hair is styled under a dark hat. Behind her, a wall shows simple decorations—two round shapes and a plant—while a wooden door frame and a bamboo blind peek from the side. Notice how the artist uses clean lines and flat colors to show her pose and clothes. The print looks simple but is packed with detail, like the tiny stitches on her sleeve.
