Untitled is a 1952 ink by Fernand Léger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a face with one hand raised to its eyes. The lines are thick and bold, almost like a sketch. The background is plain, and the figure’s body is just simple shapes—no details. The artist used black ink to make sharp, clean lines. The hand looks like it’s shielding the eyes, but it’s drawn in a flat, graphic way. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
