Untitled is a 1992 graphite by Paulo Monteiro, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two simple lines: one arm bent at the elbow, the other a loose, wavy shape that might be a leg or a cloth. The lines are thin and uneven, like quick sketches. The paper is mostly blank, with just a few faint marks in the corners. The artist used only graphite, making the lines light and sketchy. It looks like a quick idea rather than a finished work.
