Untitled is a 1768 ink by Suzuki Harunobu, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a long, flowing robe with bold red and black stripes. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears a pink sash tied around her waist. She holds a fan in one hand and has a small, calm expression. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her. The artist used bright colors and simple lines to make her look elegant. The print was made by cutting woodblocks for each color—this was a common way to make many copies. Look up Suzuki Harunobu to see more prints like this one.
