Untitled is a 1779 ink by Torii Kiyonaga, a Romanticism work, depicting tree, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a man and woman in traditional Japanese attire. The man, dressed in a white robe with orange accents, sits on the floor with his eyes closed, while the woman, wearing a black robe with a floral patterned obi, stands beside him. She holds a long, thin object in her hand, possibly a pipe or a stick. The background features a window with a tree branch and blossoms outside, as well as a wall with a grid pattern. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and intimacy. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the art of Torii Kiyonaga.
