Untitled is a 1788 ink by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three women in a room with wooden walls and a tiled roof. One woman in a black-and-green striped robe holds a round tray with a cloth. Another woman leans out a window, half-dressed in a red kimono with floral patterns. A third woman in a red-and-white kimono stands near a potted plant. The half-dressed woman’s pose looks casual, like she’s just stepping out of the window. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to show everyday life. Next, look up Kitagawa Utamaro to see more of his work.
