Untitled is a 1999 ink by Lucian Freud, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man in a suit and tie, looking down with a serious expression. His face is drawn in rough, dark lines, and the background is filled with scratchy textures. The jacket and collar are simple but stand out against the messy background. The artist used a technique that lets ink fill in the scratched lines, creating a grainy, almost sketchy look. It’s not polished—just raw and direct. Want to see more like this? Check out etching.
