Untitled is a 1897 ink by Gaston de Latenay, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a quiet park at dusk: bare trees, a lamppost, and a single bench under soft light. The scene feels still, almost empty. This print was part of a French art magazine in 1897. Artists like de Latenay made lithographs—drawings on stone that could be printed—to share their work with more people. The technique gave the image a soft, grainy look, like a memory. If you like this quiet mood, look up lithography to see how artists turned stone into art.
