Untitled is a 1932 ink by Reginald Marsh, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching depicts a group of men standing in a line, dressed in long coats and hats. The men are facing to the right, with some of them looking down or away from the viewer. The background is dark and indistinct, with some faint lines suggesting a wall or other structure. The men's clothing and posture suggest that they may be waiting in line for something, possibly food or work. The overall mood of the piece is one of quiet desperation, with the men's faces and bodies conveying a sense of weariness and resignation. The artist's use of etching creates a sense of texture and depth, with the lines and shading adding to the overall atmosphere of the piece. To learn more about this technique, explore the art of drypoint.
