Untitled is a 1807 ink by Utamaro II, a Romanticism work, depicting Duck, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two birds—one red, one brown—perched near grass and flowers. A tree with pinecones leans to the right. Below them, a block of tiny Japanese writing fills the page. The birds look calm, almost like they’re posing. The text below is packed tight, like a poem or notes. It’s all part of one small, folded sheet. Next, check out duck in Japanese art—these birds often mean more than just birds.
