Untitled is a 1800 ink by Sunayama Gosei, a Baroque work, depicting kettl, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a simple scene: a dark, lumpy kettle with a curved handle sits on a flat surface. Underneath it, there’s a folded cloth with red and green patterns, like woven fabric. The background is plain, letting the objects stand out. The artist used careful lines and shading to give the kettle a rough, textured look. The cloth’s patterns are neat and detailed, adding a bit of color to the scene. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
