About this work

Overview

Untitled is a two-panel folding screen painting created by Sesson Shūkei in 1650, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Subject & Meaning

The screen depicts two monkeys navigating tall, twisting trees with sparse foliage, rendered in dark ink against a light background. One monkey perches high, observing the scene below, while the other clings to a lower branch.

Technique & Style

Loose, expressive brushstrokes convey a sense of movement in the monkeys and trees. Varying ink tones, from dark to light, add depth to the composition.
