Untitled is a 1786 ink by Katsukawa Shunkō, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in traditional Japanese clothing, holding a sword in his right hand and a cloth in his left. He wears a hat and a black and white robe, and has a broom and a fan at his feet. The man's facial expression is serious, and his posture suggests he is about to take action. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which contrasts with the darker tones of the man's clothing. The painting's style and composition suggest it may be an example of Romanticism. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to explore the Romanticism movement.
