Untitled is a 1962 charcoal by Michael Mazur, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person sitting on a chair, legs crossed, arms resting on the back. The lines are loose and quick, with shading that makes the body look solid but not too detailed. The chair has a simple wooden frame and a flat seat. The artist focused on the shape of the body and how it fits in space, not on tiny details. The marks look like they were made fast, almost like scribbles. Try looking up scumbling to see how artists create shading like this.
Michael Burton Mazur was an American artist who was described by William Grimes of The New York Times as "a restlessly inventive printmaker, painter, and sculptor."
