Untitled is a 1933 ink by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows four dark, rounded fruits—probably plums—resting on a rough, textured surface. The shadows make them look heavy and real, with a few small leaves peeking from the bottom left. The whole scene is drawn in black and white, with soft shading to show light and shape. The artist used a smooth, almost sketchy line to define each fruit’s curves, focusing on how they sit together. It’s simple but makes you notice small details, like the tiny creases on the surface. If you like this style, check out more by Yasuo Kuniyoshi.
