Untitled is a 1929 ink by Henri Matisse, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two figures lying on a bed, their bodies drawn in simple, flowing lines. One person leans on their elbow, looking down, while the other sits up, resting their head on their hand. In the background, a window with curtains lets in light, and a few loose brushstrokes suggest plants or flowers outside. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The artist left out small details, focusing on shapes and movement instead. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this make prints.
Henri Émile Benoît Matisse (French: ; 31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French visual artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship.
