Untitled is a 1834 ink by Katsushika Hokusai, a japonisme work, depicting mother, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This image is a monochrome woodblock print featuring a woman and a baby. The woman, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, is seated and holding the baby in her lap. She appears to be playing with the baby, who is lying on its back. The woman's facial expression is gentle and loving. The print is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of serenity and warmth.
