1896
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1896 ink by Théo van Rysselberghe, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching shows a crowd of people in dark clothes, all facing upward. Above them floats a pale, glowing figure in a long dress and hat, holding a baby. The scene looks like a nighttime street, with buildings and a faint sky in the background. The crowd’s faces are turned toward the mysterious figure, making it the clear focus. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth and drama. Next, check out etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints like this.
