Untitled is a 1820 ink by Kubo Shunman, a Romanticism work, depicting Rabbit, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a rabbit standing in a field of tall grass and wildflowers. The rabbit’s fur is soft and fluffy, with a white belly and darker back. Around it, plants like dandelions and vines grow, and the grass sways as if in the wind. Japanese writing wraps around the edges, adding a poetic touch. The rabbit’s ears are perked up, almost like it’s listening to something. The artist used simple but careful lines to show texture in the fur and leaves. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
