Untitled (Moonlight Stroll) is a 1889 ink by Henry Golden Dearth, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet night scene by a riverbank. A woman in a long dress stands on a narrow path, leaning on a wooden fence. The water reflects a faint glow, and a sliver of moon hangs in the sky. Trees line the opposite shore, their dark shapes blending into the dim light. The artist used shading to create depth, making the scene feel soft yet detailed. This style was common in etchings, where lines and texture build up the image.
