Untitled is a 1932 graphite by Diego Rivera, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a busy cityscape with tall buildings and crowds of people. At the edges, two large figures sit on pedestals, watching the scene below. The middle section looks like a busy street with cars, workers, and a mix of old and new buildings. The artist used only pencil lines to create depth and texture, almost like a sketch. The lines vary in thickness, making some areas look darker or more detailed. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to build shadows and shapes.
