Untitled is a 1775 ink by Katsukawa Shunshō, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting is a triptych of woodblock prints, showcasing three distinct scenes. The left panel features a woman in a white robe with red accents, gazing down at a small mouse on the ground. In the center, a man in a black robe with white accents stands, looking down at the mouse as well. The right panel depicts another man in a white robe with orange accents, also focused on the mouse. A small mouse is the central focus of all three panels, drawing the attention of the three figures. The background of each panel is a lattice fence, with a tree visible in the right panel.
