Untitled is a 1937 ink by Harry Bowden, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person sitting sideways on a chair. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few simple shapes for the body and legs. The background is plain, so all your focus stays on the figure and the chair’s straight lines. The artist used light pencil strokes, almost like a quick draft. It feels unfinished on purpose, like a snapshot of a pose rather than a polished drawing. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
