Untitled is a 1835 ink by Keisai Eisen, a Romanticism work, depicting horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a frozen lake with people walking, riding horses, and pulling sleds. In the background, a snow-capped mountain looms over a town with buildings and bridges. The colors are bright but muted, with blues, greens, and earthy tones standing out against the white landscape. Notice how the artist uses simple shapes and bold outlines to create depth—even the smallest figures feel part of a bigger scene. The text at the top is likely a poem or place name, adding a layer of meaning beyond just the scenery. If you like this style, look up Keisai Eisen next.
