Untitled is a 1913 graphite by Roger de La Fresnaye, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows three quick, loose figures: a seated man in a suit, a standing nude woman, and a faint, ghostly figure in the background. The lines are rough and uneven, like hurried notes. A chair, a dog, and a window frame are barely suggested. The man’s face is simple but expressive, with just a few lines for eyes and mouth. The woman’s pose is natural, but the drawing feels more like a quick idea than a finished work. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of lines.
