Untitled is a 1893 charcoal by Maurice Denis, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, her legs crossed. She wears a loose dress with leaf patterns near the hem, and her hair is pulled back simply. The paper is yellowed and torn at the edges, with faint pencil lines scattered around her. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest fabric folds and leaves. The drawing feels unfinished, like a study rather than a polished work. Look up Maurice Denis to see how he blended sketchy and detailed styles.
Maurice Denis (French: ; 25 November 1870 – 13 November 1943) was a French painter, decorative artist, and writer.
