Untitled is a 1896 graphite by George Minne, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a barefoot man standing on a short block. He’s holding a small box or case in one arm, like he’s carrying it. His body is turned sideways, but his head faces forward. The lines are light and simple, almost like a quick study. The drawing looks unfinished, with soft shading instead of heavy detail. The artist focused on the shape of the body and the way he holds the object. Next, check out George Minne (Belgian, 1866–1941) to see more of his work.
George (Georges) Minne (born Georgius Joannes Leonardus Minne; 30 August 1866 – 18 February 1941) was a Belgian artist and sculptor famous for his idealized depictions of man's inner spiritual conflicts, including the "Kneeling Youth" sculpture series.
