Untitled is a 6 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a long bridge with metal supports stretching over a river. Below, boats full of people drift under the bridge—some rowing, others just sitting. The sky is dark, but the water is bright blue, and a few red lanterns hang over the bridge. The artist used bold lines to show the bridge’s structure and the boats’ movement. The colors are simple but striking, especially the blue water and red accents. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
