Untitled is a 1935 charcoal by Lyonel Feininger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a quiet village nestled in a valley. A few small buildings sit on a hillside, with trees and rough terrain around them. The lines are loose and sketchy, like quick notes rather than a finished drawing. The artist used charcoal to create soft shadows and textures, making the scene feel rough and natural. It looks like they worked fast, capturing light and shapes without too much detail. If you like this style, look up scumbling to see how artists build up texture with charcoal.
Lyonel Charles Adrian Feininger was a German-American painter, and a leading exponent of Expressionism.
