Untitled is a 1836 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Flower, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows tall green plants with clusters of tiny white flowers at the top. One bright red bloom stands out near the middle, with dark green leaves around it. The background is plain and light, letting the plants fill the space. The artist used simple but careful lines to show each leaf and flower. The red bloom looks almost too bold for the rest of the plant, making it stand out even more. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see how he painted other scenes.
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.
