Untitled is a 1844 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Flower, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows bright flowers in bold colors—yellows, reds, and greens—with a bee flying near the left side. The petals are drawn with smooth, curved lines, and the leaves look detailed but flat. At the top, there’s a striped border in blue and white, like a roof edge. The artist used simple shapes and flat colors, which makes the flowers stand out. This style was common in Japanese prints of the time. Next, check out Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
