Untitled is a 1983 charcoal by William Tucker, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a simple wooden chair with a high back and armrests. The seat and back are drawn in rough, smudged charcoal lines. Light and shadow blur the edges, making it look like the chair is half-finished or fading. The artist used loose, quick strokes—no clean outlines. The paper’s texture peeks through in spots, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Try looking up *scumbling* to see how artists create similar soft, layered effects.
