Untitled
1806
From the collection of Rijksmuseum
Untitled is a 1806 by Unknown, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a small, smudged drawing of a man’s face—just the head and shoulders—turned slightly to the side. The lines are quick, almost like a sketch you’d do in a notebook. No one knows who drew it or why. It’s tucked inside a big book of old drawings at the Rijksmuseum, filed by number instead of name. That makes it feel like a quiet secret, not a famous work. To see more quiet secrets like this, look up the Rijksmuseum’s online collection.
