Untitled is a 1898 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a horse’s head and neck turned slightly to the left, with a rider’s legs and boots dangling below. The lines are loose and fast, almost like quick notes on paper. The horse’s mane and tail are just suggested with a few strokes—no details, just movement. The artist used a technique where ink is drawn on a smooth stone, then pressed onto paper. This lets the lines stay soft and sketchy, not polished. Next, check out the technique: lithography.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
