Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Thomas Eggerer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a busy street scene with lots of people walking. Some are in groups, others alone. The buildings look modern, with big windows and clean lines. The whole scene is drawn in loose, quick strokes—like a fast, rough sketch. The artist used thin, layered lines to build up shapes and shadows. It feels like a snapshot of movement, not a finished drawing. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create depth.
