Untitled is a 1761 ink by Torii Kiyomitsu, a Romanticism work, depicting actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting features a woman in a kimono, her face serene as she gazes downward. Her dark hair is styled in a neat bun, and she holds a fan in her right hand. A large bird, possibly a crane, is depicted in flight above her, its wings outstretched. The woman's kimono is intricately patterned with flowers and leaves, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The background of the painting is a soft, muted color, which helps to focus attention on the woman and the bird. The delicate lines and subtle colors of this painting evoke a sense of calm and serenity. To learn more about the artist's use of color and composition, look up the Romanticism movement.
