Untitled is a 1814 ink by Ryūgetsusai Shinkō, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a single large hat with a checkered pattern in brown and green. The hat has a wide brim and a red bow tied under its chin. Around it, there’s a simple sketch of a person’s head and shoulders, but the hat is the main focus. The handwritten Japanese text in the background suggests this was made as a special print, not just a regular picture. The colors are flat and bright, with clean lines. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
