Untitled is a 1920 ink by Rudolf Grossmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a busy street scene with people walking, a horse-drawn cart, and a few buildings in the background. Trees line the street, and a bridge cuts across the bottom of the image. The lines are sharp and detailed, giving it a textured look. Notice how the artist used shading to show depth—dark areas make the buildings and people stand out. The scene feels lively but is drawn in black and white. If you like this style, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint.
