Untitled is a 1922 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a dark, rough scene with three figures. A person is nailed to a cross in the center, arms spread wide. To the left, another figure kneels with their head bowed, holding something small. The background is messy lines—no clear sky or buildings, just swirling marks that feel urgent. The artist used a sharp, scratchy tool to draw, leaving thick black lines that almost look like they were carved into the paper. The faces are simple but full of weight, especially the person on the cross. Try looking up *drypoint* next to see how this technique works.
