Untitled is a 1941 ink by John Flannagan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a simple, black ink figure of a person standing sideways. The lines are bold and smooth, with just a few quick strokes for the face and hair. The body is outlined in one continuous line, with no extra details. The artist used very little shading—just a few light strokes on the face and shoulders. The background is plain white, so the figure stands out clearly. If you like this style, try looking up cross-hatching next.
