Untitled is a 1920 ink by John Sloan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a crowded street scene outside a theater marquee. The sign reads "Bandit's Cave" in bold letters. People in long coats and hats stand close together, some looking up at the sign, others chatting or peering inside the theater’s glass doors. The artist used fine lines to capture the texture of coats and the rough pavement. The lighting comes from inside the theater, making the crowd’s faces shadowy. Next, check out the technique: etching.
