Untitled is a 1921 ink by George Bellows, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a horse-drawn carriage with four people inside. The driver sits up front, holding the reins, while the others ride in the covered back seat. One man waves his hat in the air, and the others look relaxed, dressed in early 1900s clothes. The artist used a rough, sketchy style that makes the scene feel lively but slightly blurred. The background shows a city street with buildings and a few distant figures. Look up *lithography* to see how this print was made.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
