Untitled is a 1923 crayon by Ludwig Meidner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man with a serious expression, his hand raised as if mid-gesture. The lines are loose and rough, giving the drawing a quick, almost nervous feel. His hair is messy, and the shirt looks slightly rumpled, like he’s in motion or deep in thought. The artist used only crayon on paper, making the whole piece look sketchy and raw. The marks are all over the place—some thick, some light—like the artist was working fast. If you like this style, check out Ludwig Meidner for more of his work.
