Untitled is a 1819 ink by Keisai Eisen, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet winter scene. Snow covers rooftops and trees in a small town by a river. A bridge crosses the water, and a lone boat floats nearby. The sky is pale blue with soft clouds. The dark outlines and flat colors make the scene feel calm and simple. The artist used ink and color in layers to build up the shapes. Look up Keisai Eisen next to see more prints like this one.
