Untitled is a 1897 ink by Louis Malteste, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows an older person sitting on a stool, wrapped in a heavy coat. Their hands rest on their lap, and they’re wearing thick boots. Nearby, there’s a basket and a bucket on the ground, with a dog curled up beside them. The lines are loose and expressive, capturing the person’s worn clothes and tired posture. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy scenes. The rough, sketchy style makes it feel real and immediate, like a quick snapshot of a moment. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
Jules Malteste, known as Louis Malteste (1862–1928) was a French writer, painter, engraver, lithographer, draughtsman, and illustrator, commonly known for his depictions of spanking.
