Untitled is a 1850 ink by Yoshitoshi, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a striped robe, holding a sword in his right hand. He wears a black hat and has a red and black dragon tattoo on his arm. The background is dark, with a red tube and a white rectangle with Japanese writing. The man's clothing and the dragon tattoo suggest a strong cultural influence. The dark background and the man's pose create a sense of drama and tension. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the Romanticism movement.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese: 月岡芳年; also named Taiso Yoshitoshi 大蘇芳年; 30 April 1839 – 9 June 1892) was a Japanese printmaker.
