This undated etching, titled "Untitled," was created by William B. Closson (1848-1926) and is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The piece features a tranquil nighttime scene with a glimpse of a building nestled among trees. The artist’s use of subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, while the small crescent moon adds a touch of mystery and beauty to the composition. The etching’s small size underscores the intimacy and subtle beauty of the subject. Closson’s work is a testament to the power of simplicity in visual art, and his etchings continue to captivate audiences today.
