Untitled is a 1967 graphite by Joseph Beuys, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a rough, fast drawing of a ship on the water. The lines are loose and wobbly, almost like a doodle. At the bottom, there’s a small circle with scribbled letters and symbols inside it. The drawing feels unfinished, as if the artist was testing ideas. The ship is just a few quick strokes, not detailed at all. If you like this style, check out Joseph Beuys.
