Untitled is a 1788 ink by Torii Kiyonaga, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows five people in a garden-like setting. Two men in fancy hats play stringed instruments, one holds a fan, and another sits on the ground with a small child. A woman in a long, patterned robe stands near them, holding a round fan. The background has simple trees and a building with a tiled roof. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, which is typical for woodblock prints. The scene looks lively but calm, with everyone focused on music. Next, look up Torii Kiyonaga to see more of his work.
