Untitled is a 1922 ink by Paul Gangolf, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a busy city street from above. Buildings line both sides, packed tight with signs, shops, and people moving below. A tram runs down the middle, while streetlights and traffic signs add to the clutter. The lines are rough and scratchy, almost like a quick sketch. The artist used a technique that lets them press ink onto stone, then scrape it away to create the image—this is called lithography. Look up lithography to see how it works.
