Untitled is a 1816 ink by Katsukawa Shuntei, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A woman in a bright red and black kimono sits on a low stool, holding a fan. Her hat has feathers and a black veil. Behind her, a small box holds a pine branch with red berries. The background is mostly empty, with just a few lines of Japanese text. The print uses bold colors and simple shapes to show her clothes and the fan’s details. The artist focused on patterns and bright contrasts. Look up Katsukawa Shuntei to see more of his work.
