Untitled is a 1925 ink by Juan Gris, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, her body drawn with quick, crisscrossed lines. Her hair is messy, and her arms hang loosely. The background is just a few faint marks—no details, just a light paper tone. The lines overlap in a way that makes the figure look both solid and sketchy at once. It’s like the artist was working fast, layering strokes to build up the shape. Want to see how this technique works? Try looking up cross-hatching.
