Untitled is a 1768 ink by Torii Kiyotsune, a Romanticism work, depicting poetry, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three women in long, colorful robes standing in simple rooms. Each holds a fan or a scroll, and their hair is styled neatly under tall black hats. The background has faint trees and a strip of text at the top—likely Japanese poetry. The colors are soft, with reds, greens, and browns blending into the light paper. The women’s robes have delicate patterns, and their poses look calm but slightly different in each panel. The middle woman holds a basket, while the one on the right sits near a low table. The artist used bold lines and flat colors to keep things clear and balanced. If you like this, check out Torii Kiyotsune.
