Untitled is a 1909 ink by Max Beckmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two small figures in a dim, empty room. One stands near a door, holding what looks like a lantern or a small object. The other leans against a wall, their posture loose. The walls are rough, almost like scratched stone, and the floor is uneven, with a few scattered lines that might be cracks or shadows. The artist used quick, jagged strokes—no smooth details here. The lighting is odd, like someone left a single light on in a dark space. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Max Beckmann.
