Untitled is a 1920 ink by Anne Goldthwaite, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a quiet street on a rainy Saturday—figures with umbrellas, a horse-drawn wagon, and tall buildings fading into mist. Goldthwaite made this etching in 1920s New York, when the city was changing fast. She scratched the scene onto a metal plate, inked it, and pressed paper against it. The soft gray tones come from tiny dots the plate left behind—a trick called aquatint that gives the rain its hazy feel. If you like how the ink looks, try searching for *drypoint*—another way artists scratch metal to make prints.
