Untitled is a 1762 ink by Suzuki Harunobu, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A woman in a red and white kimono kneels on a wooden porch, holding a small brush. She’s lighting a paper lantern with a stick of firewood. Behind her, a sliding door and a window with a wooden frame show a quiet, dim room. The kimono has bright floral patterns, and her hair is styled neatly. This print uses soft colors and careful lines to show everyday life. The artist paid close attention to small details, like the way light hits the lantern or the texture of the wood. Next, look up Suzuki Harunobu to see more of his delicate prints.
