Untitled is a 1897 ink by Louis-Auguste Girardot, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This woman sits still, wrapped in a light cloth that covers her head and shoulders. Her dark eyes stare straight ahead, but her expression is calm. She wears a red and gold patterned dress with a beaded necklace and a red purse hanging at her side. The background is plain, with a faint floral pattern on the wall behind her. The artist used soft lines and shading to show the folds in her cloth and the details of her dress. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
