Untitled is a 1730 ink by Okumura Toshinobu, a Baroque work, depicting Ches, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts two men in a room, engaged in a game. The man on the left has long hair and wears a robe, while the man on the right is dressed in a hat and robe. The room features a tiled floor and a large drum in the corner. The scene is rendered in monochrome, with bold lines and simple shapes. The artist's use of negative space creates a sense of calm and focus on the game. The painting's style is reminiscent of Baroque art, with its use of dramatic lighting and intense emotions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this work, which is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a moment.
