Untitled is a 1926 ink by Georges Rouault, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a person in a simple outfit—like a tunic and a pointed hat—walking while holding a round object. The lines are rough and dark, almost like a sketch that wasn’t smoothed out. The background is mostly shadowy, with just a hint of a doorway or window behind them. The artist used a technique where ink is pushed onto a flat stone instead of brushed on canvas. That’s why the lines feel a little uneven and sketchy, like it was made quickly. Check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Georges-Henri Rouault was a French painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, whose work is often associated with Fauvism and Expressionism.
