Untitled is a 1915 tempera by Edward Steichen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a rooster standing next to two tall, skinny black shapes that look like buildings or towers. The rooster is drawn in white and black, with its tail feathers spread out. The background is mostly a light, sandy color with some rough brushstrokes. The rooster has the number "75" written on its side, and the artist’s name, *Ecoq Gaulois*, is signed in the corner. The style is simple and bold, with thick black outlines and flat colors. If you like this, check out *tempera* to see how artists use egg-based paint.
