Untitled is a 1913 graphite by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a single, simple figure—a person’s back and side, bent forward with one arm raised. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch rather than a finished work. The paper is lightly textured, and the pencil strokes vary in darkness, giving the figure a soft, almost floating shape. The artist focused on the body’s curves and movement, ignoring details like facial features or background. This kind of drawing was often used to study how the body moves naturally.
