Untitled is a 1852 ink by Toyohara Kunichika, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two women in a room with sliding doors and a small garden outside. One woman leans over the other, who sits on a low platform holding a baby. The woman standing wears a bright kimono with red and gold patterns, while the seated woman has a simpler outfit. Red maple leaves and green plants frame the scene, and a lantern sits on the floor. The artist used bold colors and sharp lines to create a lively, intimate moment. The sliding doors and garden hint at a traditional Japanese home. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
