Untitled is a 1828 ink by Yashima Gakutei, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a mouse standing on a giant red flower. The petals are bold and white-edged, with a yellow center. The mouse holds a long stick like it’s poking the flower. The background is plain, so the bright colors stand out. The mouse looks almost like a person, standing tall on its back legs. The artist used simple shapes and strong colors to make it funny and eye-catching. Next, check out The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
