Untitled is a 1942 ink by Lyonel Feininger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two ships on water, drawn with lots of thin, crisscrossed lines. The ships look simple but busy, with tall masts and small flags. The background has big, slanted shapes that look like waves or land, also filled with lines. The lines are packed tight in some spots, making dark areas, and sparse in others. This makes the ships and water pop out. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines like this.
