Untitled is a 1892 ink by Raoul Dufy, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a quiet garden scene with a small fire burning in a metal bowl. Tall plants and vines fill the left side, while a building with windows sits in the background. The colors are mostly light blue and gray, with some darker outlines. The artist used a loose, sketchy style—almost like a quick drawing. This was made when Dufy was just 15 years old, and it looks like he was still figuring out his hand. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
