Untitled is a 1952 ink by Rudolf Kügler, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a busy courtyard with tall palm trees and a few people walking. The buildings in the background have arched doorways and balconies, and the whole scene looks a bit crowded but loose. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to draw everything, almost like a hurried doodle. The paper has a grainy texture, which makes the dark lines stand out. This is because the print was made using a method called *aquatint*—it lets the artist add soft, shadowy tones. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create these kinds of prints.
Rudolf Kügler (1921–2013) was a German artist, born in Berlin.
