"Untitled" is a poignant 1855 photographic work by Roger Fenton depicting four figures during the Crimean War. The composition showcases two British soldiers seated casually, alongside two local men, their expressions a mix of weariness and stoicism. Fenton's work was a pivotal moment in the development of photojournalism and serves as a valuable historical document. The image offers insight into the complex social dynamics during this conflict and is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
