Untitled is a 1937 ink by Rosalind Bengelsdorf, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is all black lines on a light background. You see a simple bird sitting on a curved shape that looks like a wave or a boat. Above the bird, there’s a wavy line that might be water or a mountain, and some jagged shapes that could be trees or buildings. The artist signed it "R. Bengelsdorf" in the corner. This piece is one of thirty-one prints made the same way. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
