Untitled is a 1924 ink by Jules Pascin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on a low ledge, her legs bent and arms resting on her knees. She’s drawn in loose, dark lines with quick strokes—her face is simple, her body more suggested than detailed. The background is barely there, just a few faint marks to hint at a wall or curtain. The artist used a scratchy, uneven style, almost like they drew fast or were experimenting. The paper looks rough, and the ink smudges in places, giving it a raw feel.
