Untitled is a 1913 ink by Max Beckmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face in profile, looking slightly off to the side. Her hair is pulled back, and her expression is calm but serious. The lines are loose and quick, with no shading—just black ink on a light background. The signature in the corner is small and neat. This style of drawing, called *drypoint*, uses sharp tools to carve into a metal plate, creating fine, scratchy lines. Look up Max Beckmann to see more of his bold, expressive portraits.
Max Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer.
