Untitled is a 1897 ink by Émile Berchmans, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a tall, narrow figure of a nude person with red-gold hair, standing sideways in a green, leafy setting. The background has tall trees and a faint glimpse of blue sky through the branches. The figure’s pose is relaxed, one arm raised slightly, the other resting at their side. The artist used soft edges and light shading to keep the scene dreamy. This is one of four prints made using a technique that lets artists draw directly onto a flat stone. Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
