Untitled is a 1779 ink by Katsukawa Shunjō, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two people standing on a plain ground with a cloudy sky behind them. The person on the left wears a dark robe with red and gold accents, holding a fan. The person on the right is dressed in a lighter outfit with a hat, gripping a walking stick and a fan in their other hand. Both have simple, strong faces and stand in a relaxed pose. The background is mostly empty, letting the patterns on their clothes stand out. The artist used bold lines and flat colors to keep things clear and focused.
