Untitled is a 1897 ink by Louis Rhead, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This woman stands in a bright, stylized garden. She wears a long red dress with swirling patterns and a high collar, holding her skirt with one hand. Behind her, two peacocks strut across a grassy path, their feathers a mix of blue and green. Trees with flat, blue-green leaves line the background, and the sky is a soft pinkish-orange. Notice how the colors pop—reds, blues, and greens stand out sharply against the pale background. The peacocks and her dress share similar patterns, like a quiet connection. Want to know more?
