Untitled is a 1922 ink by Rudolf Belling, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows tall, skinny shapes that look like buildings or maybe trees, all tangled together. Some lines are thick and dark, while others are faint and wavy. In the middle, there’s a small circle that might be a light or a window. The whole thing feels a little unstable, like it’s being pulled apart. The artist used a drawing tool to layer lines on top of each other, making some parts almost disappear. It’s not a finished painting—just a quick, rough idea. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
