Untitled is a 1800 ink by Kubo Shunman, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A woman in a richly patterned robe sits on a wave-like mat, holding a fan and a small mirror. Her dark hair is styled neatly, and she wears a pale blue undergarment. Next to her is a wooden stand with a teapot and a tray holding two cups. The background is mostly blank, letting the colors of her clothes—deep reds, golds, and blues—stand out. The artist used bold lines to define shapes and textures, like the folds in her robe. The print looks like it was made by hand, with careful shading and bright colors. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
