Untitled (Mountains) 

Ike no Taiga, a prominent Japanese painter of the mid-18th century, is known for his innovative approach to traditional ink-and-wash painting. This untitled work showcases his mastery of the "haboku" technique, where ink washes are applied with a loose, gestural brushstroke. The painting depicts a mountain range, with the peaks rendered in soft, flowing lines that evoke a sense of movement and depth. The use of muted tones and subtle washes creates a sense of tranquility and intimacy, characteristic of Taiga's artistic style.
