Untitled is a 1830 ink by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting Cran, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a group of cranes flying and standing in a marshy landscape. The cranes are drawn in blue and green, with some in mid-flight and others perched on reeds. In the background, bare trees with red blossoms line a riverbank, and the sky is light and soft. The artist used fine lines and shading to give the cranes texture, especially on their feathers. The cranes’ long legs and beaks stand out against the wet, grassy ground. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build detail with lines.
