Untitled is a 1934 graphite by Gaston Lachaise, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a rectangular design with three framed sections. The top middle panel has two reclining figures—one lying down, one sitting—holding what looks like a small object between them. The side panels show standing figures, one holding a tool like a hammer, the other a curved object. The whole thing is drawn in loose ink lines with some shading. The figures look like they’re inspired by classical statues but are simplified and rough. The sketch feels like a study for something bigger, maybe a building or a sculpture. If you like this style, check out Gaston Lachaise.
