Untitled is a 1808 ink by Teisai Hokuba, a Romanticism work, depicting Servant, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two women in a garden. One wears a bright red skirt and a dark green sash, holding a folded fan. The other sits in a chair, dressed in black and white with a striped pattern, and holds a small object in her hand. Behind them, a bridge stretches over a river, with buildings and trees in the distance. The artist used bold colors and flowing lines to show movement. The writing around the scene is Japanese poetry, adding a layer of meaning. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
