Untitled is a 1770 ink by Torii Kiyonaga, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a light robe standing near a sliding screen. She’s holding a fan to her face, looking out a window with bamboo outside. On the floor, a woman kneels with a tray of food and a cat curled up beside her. The screen has a star pattern, and the room has simple furniture. The artist used flat colors and clean lines, which was common in Japanese woodblock prints. The scene feels calm and everyday, focusing on small details like the cat or the food tray. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
