Untitled is a 1918 ink by George Kolbe, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a seated figure with long hair, drawn in loose, dark ink strokes. The lines are quick and confident, capturing the person’s pose and curves without much detail. The paper is plain, with no background—just the outline and shading of the body. The artist used broad strokes to suggest form, leaving some areas almost blank. This style feels fast, like a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
