This "Untitled (Figures)" ink and color painting by Ike no Taiga, a prominent Japanese painter of the mid-18th century, depicts a lively scene with several figures, including men riding horses, a man carrying a large bundle, and several figures walking. The painting is characterized by its quick brushstrokes and loose composition, typical of Taiga's style, which drew inspiration from Chinese painting traditions. It showcases Taiga's talent for capturing movement and energy in his work.
