Untitled is a 1860 by Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a bare tree with a few branches and twigs, set against a light-colored background. The tree's trunk is positioned at an angle, with its branches extending outward in different directions. The artist has used a range of lines and shading to create depth and texture in the image. The tree's bark is rough and gnarled, with visible knots and grooves. The branches are thin and delicate, with a few leaves scattered throughout. This style of drawing is reminiscent of the work of Whistler, who was known for his use of bold lines and subtle shading to create intricate and detailed images.
Whistler was the 19th-century painter who insisted on signing his paintings with a butterfly, as if art were a kind of delicate winged joke.
