Untitled is a 1906 ink by Elie Nadelman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a face drawn in quick, rough lines. The features—eyes, nose, and mouth—are simple shapes, almost like a mask. The artist used shading to give the face some depth, but it’s still very basic. The drawing looks like a study, maybe practice for something bigger. The lines are uneven, almost like the artist was testing how to shape a face. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching.
Elie Nadelman (born Eliasz Nadelman; February 20, 1882 – December 28, 1946) was a Polish-American sculptor, draughtsman of the School of Paris and a collector of folk art.
