Untitled is a 1767 ink by Torii Kiyomitsu, a Romanticism work, depicting actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A woman in a bright pink kimono stands on a wooden bridge. She holds a red fan in one hand and a round fan with white patterns in the other. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears a simple headpiece. The background shows a faint outline of a building and a body of water. Her kimono has subtle patterns, and the colors are soft but bold. The artist used simple lines to create depth and movement. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists like this one build shadows with lines.
