Untitled is a 1780 ink by Torii Kiyonaga, a Romanticism work, depicting Flut, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a person sitting sideways, dressed in bright red robes with bold gold and green patterns. They’re holding a long flute to their lips, wearing a black hat with a small knot on top. The background is plain, so the focus stays on the clothing and the flute. The swirling patterns on the robe look like waves or clouds, and the artist used sharp lines to define the folds of the fabric. This style was common in Japanese woodblock prints of the time.
