Untitled is a 1788 ink by Katsukawa Shunchō, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows four people dressed in old-fashioned Japanese clothing. Two women in the back hold decorated fans, while a woman in the front carries a small branch with flowers. A man in the front leans forward, looking down, with his hands on his knees. The fans have detailed patterns, and the women’s robes have bold black-and-white designs. The faces are simple but expressive, with calm, slightly serious looks. Look up Katsukawa Shunchō to see more prints like this one.
