Untitled is a 1861 ink by Utagawa Yoshikazu, a Romanticism work, depicting ship, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man in a black robe sitting on a chair, handing a flower to a woman in a bright yellow and red outfit. Behind them, a child in a red dress stands holding a fan. In the background, a large ship with three masts floats on a blue sea, with smaller boats nearby. The woman’s dress has bold patterns, and the man’s face looks surprised or worried. The ship is detailed with sails and rigging, but the scene feels more like a story than a real place. Next, look up Utagawa Yoshikazu to see more prints by this artist.
