Untitled is a 2002 pastel by Tom Knechtel, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a horse’s head in red pastel, rough and textured. The animal’s eye is wide and alert, its mane and fur drawn in quick, uneven strokes. The paper has a warm, peachy tone, and the edges look slightly worn. The artist used pastel—a soft, chalky medium—pressed hard in some spots for darker lines. The style feels fast, like a quick study rather than a polished work. Try searching pastel to see how other artists use this bold, messy technique.
Tom Knechtel (b. 1952) was an American artist, born in Palo Alto.
