Untitled is a 1926 ink by Aristide Maillol, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person sitting on the ground with their legs tucked under them. Their arms are wrapped around their knees, and their head is resting on one arm. The lines are simple and smooth, with no extra details like background or clothing. The artist focused on the body’s shape and balance, leaving out distractions. This style makes the pose look calm and natural. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this create their work.
