Untitled is a 1941 ink by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two horses pulling a wagon loaded with a tall, narrow shape that looks like a rocket or pole. The ground is grassy and uneven, with a few scattered rocks and a small fence in the distance. The sky is dark and stormy, with quick, rough strokes that make it feel windy. The artist used a loose, sketchy style—almost like a quick pencil drawing—to capture the scene. The horses look tired, and the whole image feels a little lonely.
