Untitled is a 1878 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a quiet water scene with a lone figure in a small boat. The water is calm, almost mirroring the soft shapes of buildings in the distance. The whole image is in muted grays and whites, with no bright colors. The artist used a smooth, almost sketchy style to capture light and mood. This was printed using a method called lithography, where the image is drawn on stone and then transferred. Look up lithography to see how it works.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
