Untitled
1791
From the collection of Rijksmuseum
Untitled is a 1791 by Unknown, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a quick, loose sketch of a man in a tricorn hat, scribbled in brown ink on yellowed paper. The lines are shaky, like someone practiced drawing the same face over and over. The paper comes from a big book called the Atlas Van Eck—basically a 18th-century scrapbook of random sketches. No one knows who drew it or why it ended up there. To see more anonymous sketches like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
