Untitled is a 1929 ink by Franz Maria Jansen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a quiet harbor scene with palm trees framing the view. The water is calm, lined with boats tied up at docks. A covered walkway runs along the shore, and the sky above is lightly marked with quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a drypoint technique, which means they scratched into a metal plate to create the lines—no paint here, just ink rubbed into those grooves. The whole thing feels loose and fast, like a quick study rather than a polished work. Next, check out Franz Maria Jansen to see how his other sketches compare.
Franz Maria Jansen (1885–1958) was a German artist, born in Cologne.
