The Haunted House is a 1871 ink by Rodolphe Bresdin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a large, ornate house with a pointed roof and a large arched window. The house is surrounded by trees and other foliage, and there are people and animals in the foreground. The image is done in a detailed, realistic style. The house has a lot of intricate details, like carvings and statues, and the trees and foliage are also very detailed. The people and animals in the foreground are smaller and less detailed, but they add to the overall sense of the scene. The painting is an etching, which means it was made using a special technique that involves etching a design onto a metal plate and then printing it onto paper.
