1901
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1901 ink by Walter Sickert, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a city by a river, drawn in quick, scratchy lines. Buildings line both sides of the water, with one arched bridge connecting them. The right side has a tall, detailed tower with tiny windows, while the left side has simpler, shorter structures. The artist left some areas rough, almost like scribbles, while others are carefully marked. The bridge looks old and slightly crumbling, with a curve that makes it stand out. The river below is calm, with just a hint of movement in the lines. The whole scene feels like a quick snapshot of a place, not a polished drawing. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists use ink and metal plates to create these textures.
Walter Richard Sickert (31 May 1860 – 22 January 1942) was a German-born British painter and printmaker who was a member of the Camden Town Group of Post-Impressionist artists in early 20th-century London.
