Untitled is a 1920 ink by Paul Kleinschmidt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman bending over, struggling with a corset’s laces. Behind her, a mirror reflects her face and a table with a hairbrush and a hat. The lines are rough, almost like quick scribbles, with some shading to show folds in her clothes. The artist focused on the effort of dressing, not the details. The date on the print is 1920, and it’s made using a drypoint technique—think of it like scratching into a metal plate to make lines. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
