Untitled is a 1900 ink by After Hugechi, a Impressionism work, depicting Flower, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a young woman in a traditional Japanese kimono, seated with her legs folded under her. She is holding a branch with white flowers in her right hand, while her left hand rests on her lap. The woman's dark hair is styled in an updo, adorned with a decorative hairpin. The background of the painting is a soft, muted green, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's dark hair and clothing. The overall effect is one of serenity and elegance. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, you might want to look up After Hugechi (Qugeci).
This artist made delicate woodblock prints around 1900, working in the crepon style—a crinkled paper that gives soft edges to colors.
