Untitled is a 1924 ink by Marc Chagall, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man in mid-air, balancing on a violin like it’s a tightrope. He’s wearing a top hat, striped pants, and a big smile, while a small dog and cat float nearby. The background is simple, with just a faint curve of a stage or floor. The artist used thin, quick lines to make the scene feel light and playful. The violin’s strings stretch out like ropes, and the animals look almost weightless. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
