Untitled is a 1897 ink by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows six naked figures in an outdoor setting. The scene looks like a group of people by water, with one person sitting on the ground, another squatting, and the rest standing or walking. The background has a tree and a sky with soft, watercolor-like brushstrokes. The figures are drawn with loose, quick lines—nothing polished or detailed. The artist focused more on shapes and movement than perfect realism. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it works.
