Untitled is a 1783 ink by Katsukawa Shunchō, a Romanticism work, depicting Garden, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three women in fancy robes walking outdoors. They carry baskets, fans, and hold hands with kids. One woman fans herself. The background has trees, a fence, and a pond. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and browns. Look closer at the women’s robes. The patterns are detailed, and the brushstrokes are clean. The artist used ink and color on paper, a common method in Japan at the time. Check out more by Katsukawa Shunchō next.
Katsukawa Shunchō lived in Edo (now Tokyo) during the late 1700s, a time when floating-world prints—colorful scenes of theater, courtesans, and everyday life—were all the rage.
