Untitled is a 1988 charcoal by Everlyn Nicodemus, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a dark, shadowy room with a person sitting hunched on a chair. The walls are made of rough, textured blocks, and the floor looks like stone steps. Light streams in through a narrow window, casting sharp lines across the scene. The artist used tiny, repeated lines to build up the shapes and shadows—almost like a woven pattern. It’s all done in pencil and charcoal, giving it a scratchy, almost 3D feel. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
