Untitled is a 1923 ink by Max Weber, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a tall, thin figure with a blurred face and loose, flowing hair. The body is turned slightly, arms resting at the sides, and the legs are bent at the knees. The colors are mostly soft browns and grays, with a few quick red and blue strokes near the bottom. The artist used a simple, sketchy style—almost like a quick drawing. The lines are rough, and the figure looks more like a rough draft than a finished piece. Try looking up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
