1908
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1908 ink by Christian Rohlfs, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two strong figures in a rough, sketchy style. One person is kneeling, holding the other’s hand or arm while looking up at them. The second figure stands tall, with one arm bent at the elbow like they’re either resting or gesturing. The background is simple—just a few lines for trees or branches, and the whole scene feels quick and raw. The artist used a woodcut technique, which means they carved the design into wood and then printed it. That’s why the lines are bold and the shading is simple.

Christian Rohlfs (November 22, 1849 - January 8, 1938) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the important representatives of German expressionism.
