Untitled
1745
From the collection of Rijksmuseum
Untitled is a 1745 by Unknown, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a small, smudged drawing of a man’s face in profile—just his nose, lips, and chin. No one knows who made it or why. It’s tucked inside a big book of old sketches at the Rijksmuseum, almost like a doodle. The lines are soft, as if the artist was practicing or just passing time. If you like quiet, half-finished faces, look up *sfumato*—a way of blending lines so they fade like smoke.
