Untitled is a 1783 ink by Torii Kiyonaga, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two women in long robes, standing side by side. Their outfits have bright colors—pinks, golds, and blacks—with detailed patterns. One holds a fan, the other a scroll, and both wear tall black shoes. Behind them, pine branches and a few birds add simple background details. The women’s robes are decorated with birds and flowers, a common design in this style. The artist used bold lines and flat colors, which makes the scene feel calm and balanced. If you like this style, look up Torii Kiyonaga for more prints like this.
