Untitled is a 1903 ink by John Sloan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, wrapped in a light, flowing cloth. Her hair is pulled back, and she rests one arm on her knee while the other hangs loose. The lines are soft and smudged, like pencil strokes left to blend. The artist used a drypoint tool—think of it like a sharp stick scratching into metal—to create this sketch. The marks are faint but visible, especially around her shoulders and the fabric. Look up drypoint next to see how this technique works.
