Untitled is a 1898 by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet city street with a large, simple building in the center. The building has tall windows and a flat roof, with a few people walking near it. A lamppost with a fancy top stands in front, and train tracks run down the middle of the street. The drawing looks quick and loose, like it was made on the spot. The artist focused on light and shadow to show depth, not tiny details. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and dark shapes create drama.
Charles Frederick William Mielatz (né Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Mielatz; May 24, 1864 – July 2, 1919) was a Prussian-born American etcher, graphic artist, painter, lithographer, and educator.
