Untitled is a 1744 ink by Torii Kiyotada, a Baroque work, depicting Interior, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy indoor scene with people dressed in traditional robes. A man lies on the floor in the foreground, while others stand or sit around him. The room has wooden beams, sliding doors, and a staircase leading up to another area with more people. Notice the careful use of lines to show depth and texture, like the patterns on the walls and robes. The artist used shading to make the figures look three-dimensional. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shadows this way.
