Untitled is a 1877 ink by Yoshitoshi, a Impressionism work, depicting drinking, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy room packed with people. Men and women in bright, patterned clothes sit at long tables. Some talk, some drink, and a few play instruments. Red lanterns hang from the ceiling, and the floor has fancy carpets with flowers and geometric shapes. A large fan sits open in the center, and a woman in blue leans against a table. The scene looks lively, like a party or gathering. The artist packed in lots of details—check out the different hats and fans people hold. Next, look up Tsukioka Yoshitoshi to see more of his bold, colorful prints.
