Untitled is a 1742 ink by Kikukawa Eizan, a Baroque work, depicting boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three busy river scenes at night. Boats float under bridges packed with people. Lanterns glow, and a few figures wave or lean over the sides. The colors are bold—bright reds, greens, and blues stand out against dark backgrounds. Notice how the artist uses flat colors and sharp lines to tell the story. The bridges look crowded, and the water is full of small boats. Look up boat, bridge next to see more scenes like this.
