Untitled is a 1902 ink by Edvard Munch, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, turned slightly toward us. His mustache and wavy hair are drawn with quick, confident lines. The paper has a grainy texture, and the shading is light but clear, focusing on his eyes and jaw. The artist used a drypoint needle to scratch into the plate, creating a loose, sketchy feel. The lines aren’t smooth—they look almost hand-drawn, like a quick study. Check out Edvard Munch to see more of his bold, expressive style.
