Untitled is a 1845 ink by Keisai Eisen, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This image is a woodblock print of a serene river scene. A row of buildings lines the right side of the river, while a bridge spans the water in the background. Several boats are visible, including one with a covered top and another with a person standing in it. The print features a muted color palette, with shades of brown, gray, and pink dominating the scene. The artist's use of gentle lines and soft colors creates a sense of calmness, drawing the viewer into the peaceful atmosphere of the river.
