Untitled is a 1916 ink by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on the ground, holding a baby close. She’s wrapped in a loose cloth, and the baby rests against her chest. Behind her, a few trees and a fence line a grassy hill, drawn in quick, rough lines. The artist used a dark, scratchy line to create texture—like the woman’s hair or the grass—without much shading. It looks like it was made by pressing tools into a metal plate. Want to learn more? Check out *etching* to see how this technique works.
