Untitled is a 1780 ink by Yanagawa Shunsui, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three people in a simple room with wooden walls and a window. The person on the right kneels, holding a fan, while the middle person sits cross-legged, playing a stringed instrument. The smallest child sits on the floor, watching. A plant and a small box are near them. Notice how the artist uses simple lines and flat colors to tell the story. The clothes and setting look like everyday life in Japan around 1780. Next, look up Yanagawa Shunsui to see more of his work.
Japanese, active last quarter of the 18th century
