Untitled is a 1790 ink by Kubo Shunman, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two people in a simple room. On the left, a man sits cross-legged, holding a brush and paper. Next to him is a small table with a teapot and fruit. On the right, a woman lies on a mat, leaning on her elbow while a child sleeps beside her. The background has a few plants and a hanging bundle of dried herbs. The artist used soft colors and careful lines to show everyday life. The man looks focused, while the woman seems relaxed. The scene feels calm and ordinary. Next, check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
