About this work
Overview
Untitled is a woodblock print created by Hokkyō Kōitsu around 1834. The print is held in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts a serene scene: a woman in vibrant robes stands beside a calm horse, accompanied by a man in a turban. The horse carries a yellow-and-black box, but the focus is on the tranquil atmosphere rather than the cargo.
Technique & Style
Executed in ink and color on paper, this surimono print showcases Kōitsu's skill with woodblock printing. The empty background and subtle hints of green and Japanese text around the edges create a sense of simplicity.
