Untitled is a 1868 ink by Rodolphe Bresdin, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a dark forest scene. In the shadows, a small group of people sit around a campfire, their faces barely visible. The trees loom large, their branches twisting together, and the ground looks rocky and uneven. The print uses only dark tones, making the fire and figures stand out as the brightest parts. The artist focused on mood over detail, which was unusual for the time. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
