Untitled is a 1789 ink by Katsukawa Shunkō, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This diptych features two figures standing in front of a wooden fence, each with a distinct appearance. The figure on the left is dressed in a tan robe with black squares, paired with a head covering and sandals. In contrast, the figure on the right wears a black robe with a striped undergarment and a white head covering. A notable detail is the lantern situated between the two figures, which adds a sense of depth to the scene. The artist's use of color and composition creates a harmonious balance between the two panels. The artist behind this work is Katsukawa Shunkō.
