Untitled is a 1720 ink by Torii Kiyotomo, a Baroque work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a person dressed in bright, patterned clothes. They’re holding a fan over their head and carrying a bag on their back. Their outfit has bold reds, blacks, and golds with swirling designs. One hand holds a stick with a curved top, and their feet wear simple sandals. The colors pop against the light background. The lines are sharp, and the patterns look hand-drawn. This style was common in Japanese prints from that time. Want to know more? Check out the actor tradition in Japanese woodblock prints.
