Untitled is a 1825 ink by Yashima Gakutei, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a long, flowing robe with intricate designs and patterns. He's standing next to a small table with a black object on it. A large green dragon wraps around him, its head near his shoulder. The man's face is turned to the left, and he has a mustache and a bun on his head. The man's robe is a mix of orange, white, and blue, with a big circular design on his chest. The dragon has scales and a long tail that curves around the man. The background is a light brown color. The painting is detailed and colorful, with many patterns and designs. You might want to look up more about the Romanticism movement next.
