Untitled is a 1908 graphite by Gustav Klimt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two nude figures standing close together, their backs to us. The lines are loose and flowing, almost like quick sketches. One figure has an arm around the other’s shoulder, while the second figure’s arm rests lightly on the first. The paper has a warm, creamy tone, and the pencil strokes vary from thick to faint. The artist’s signature, *Gustav Klimt*, is tucked in the corner. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
