Untitled is a 1927 ink by Käthe Kollwitz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting with a small child resting on her lap. She’s wrapped in a loose, flowing garment and wears a head covering. The child leans against her, looking down. The lines are soft and smudged, like pencil on paper. The artist used a simple tool—just a crayon-like stick and stone—to make this print. It’s rough but warm, like a quick sketch someone might do in a quiet moment. Look up lithography to see how this technique works.
Käthe Kollwitz (German pronunciation: born Schmidt; 8 July 1867 – 22 April 1945) was a German artist who worked with painting, printmaking (including etching, lithography and woodcuts) and sculpture.
