Untitled is a 1902 graphite by Ferdinand Hodler, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a side view of a person standing with their arms crossed over their chest. The lines are loose but confident, capturing the body’s shape in quick strokes. The paper has a grid background, and there are some red marks scattered around the edges. The artist focused on the figure’s pose and movement, leaving out details like facial features. The sketch feels like a fast study—almost like a snapshot of a real person. If you like this style, check out Ferdinand Hodler.
