Untitled is a 1857 ink by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Bird, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a tall bird standing in shallow water. Its long legs are spread apart, and its beak is slightly open. Tall reeds and a few flowers grow around it, and the water has small ripples. The bird’s feathers are drawn with smooth, simple lines, and its red beak stands out against the muted colors. The background is mostly empty, keeping focus on the bird and its surroundings. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shading with lines.
