Untitled is a 1911 ink by Walter Sickert, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a tall, narrow building with lots of windows, drawn in quick, scratchy lines. Below it, a fence runs along what looks like a sidewalk or street, with a few trees and bushes in the corner. The whole scene feels rough and hurried, like it was made fast. The artist signed it in the corner and wrote the title: *"Cruikshanks' house on Coronation Day."* That suggests it’s a real place, captured on a specific day. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists use ink and metal plates to create these kinds of lines.
