Untitled is a 1926 graphite by Diego Rivera, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a woman sitting and a child kneeling in front of her. The woman wears a necklace with a pattern and a simple dress, while the child has braided hair and a loose top. Both figures are outlined in bold, dark lines against a light background. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture their shapes and expressions. The lines are uneven, giving the drawing a rough, hand-drawn feel. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of lines.
Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez was a Mexican painter. His large frescoes helped establish the mural movement in Mexican and international art.
