Untitled is a 1793 ink by Katsukawa Shun'ei 勝川春英, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a person in a colorful kimono with bold floral patterns—pinks, greens, and whites. They’re kneeling on one knee, holding a branch with small blossoms above their head. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the figure and the delicate flowers. The artist used simple lines and flat colors, which makes the design feel lively but calm. The floral branch looks almost like a stage prop, hinting this might be a character from a play. Look up actor next to see how performers like this one inspired art.
