Untitled is a 1897 ink by Émile-René Ménard, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This picture shows two people outside by water. One is standing, reaching up to pick fruit from a small tree. The other is sitting on the grass, wearing a hat and looking down. The background has hills and a calm sky. The standing figure is naked, which was unusual for art at the time. The colors are soft, and the whole scene feels peaceful. Want to know more? Check out lithography—this print was made using that technique.
