Untitled is a 1924 ink by Ker-Xavier Roussel, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with two women near a small stream. One woman bends over, maybe picking something, while the other stands nearby. Tall trees frame the scene, and the whole image looks soft and slightly blurry, like a quick drawing. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on the surface of a stone. That’s why the lines feel loose and sketchy instead of sharp. Want to see more? Check out lithography to learn how this technique works.
