Untitled is a 1815 ink by Kubo Shunman, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a simple branch with a few flowers and leaves. The flowers are bright yellow and white, while the leaves are green with some pink spots. A small bird sits on the right side, and there’s a red mark in the top corner. The artist used soft colors and delicate lines to make it look natural. The writing around the edges is in Japanese, adding a quiet touch. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
