Untitled is a 1940 ink by Josef Albers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows four squiggly lines tangled together. Each line has a few tight circles at the ends, like knots. The whole thing is drawn in black on a light gray background. The lines look loose and wobbly, like they were drawn fast. The artist wrote "Velocidad 900" at the bottom—Spanish for "Speed 900." That hints the lines might mean fast movement. Look up Josef Albers to see how he played with shapes and lines.
