Untitled is a 1980 graphite by Peter Dean, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two people in a small, cluttered room. One person sits hunched over a table, holding a child who’s lying down. The table is messy with a bottle, syringe, and some jars. In the background, another person stands near a window, and a plant sits on the floor. The word *DISPOSAL* is scrawled in the corner, hinting at something hidden or ignored. The drawing uses quick, sketchy lines to show tension and everyday objects. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
