Untitled is a 1860 ink by Samuel Colman, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows an old stone castle with thick walls and a round tower. People in long coats walk along a narrow path near the entrance. Trees and bushes grow wild around the base, and the sky is barely visible. The artist used fine lines to show texture in the stone and clothing, making everything look rough and real. This style was common in the late 1800s. Look up etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to create prints like this.
Samuel Colman (March 4, 1832 – March 26, 1920) was an American painter, interior designer, and writer, probably best remembered for his paintings of the Hudson River.
