Untitled is a 1754 ink by Torii Kiyohiro, a Romanticism work, depicting Lover, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two women in bright red robes with green and black patterns. They’re standing side by side under a bare tree with long, drooping branches. Both wear black hairpieces and hold fans—one has a fan open, the other closed. The tree’s stark branches contrast with the women’s busy, colorful robes. Their faces are calm, almost shy, as they face each other. If you like this style, look up Torii Kiyohiro.
