Untitled is a 1794 ink by Tōshū, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two figures in a quiet moment. A tall man in an ornate, patterned robe stands behind a seated woman, who wears a black outfit with a single white circle on her sleeve. Her hair is styled in a loose bun, and she holds a fan. The background is plain, letting the bold colors and sharp lines stand out. The man’s robe has a mix of dark and light shapes, while the woman’s outfit is mostly black with small white flowers near her feet. Their faces look calm but focused, almost like they’re in the middle of a performance. If you like this style, look up Tōshūsai Sharaku.
