About this work
Overview
Created in 1982 by Greek artist Theoharis Mores, this untitled drawing is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography. Rendered on warm‑toned paper, the work consists of a single, swiftly executed figure seated on a low stool, presented in a minimalist, gestural manner.
Subject & Meaning
The composition captures a lone individual with bent legs and arms resting on the knees, emphasizing posture over facial expression. By leaving the face largely undefined, Mores directs attention to the body's tension and balance, inviting viewers to contemplate the universal gesture of contemplation or repose.
Technique & Style
Executed with loose, rapid lines, the drawing relies on simple contours to suggest the figure’s silhouette and hair. The absence of shading or intricate detail underscores a spontaneous, sketch‑like quality, characteristic of practice studies or preparatory works that prioritize gesture and movement over finished polish.
History & Provenance
The piece was produced in 1982 and subsequently entered the holdings of the Museum of Ethnography, where it remains on display. The artist’s signature, rendered as “Θ. Μορές” in the lower corner, authenticates the work and links it to Mores’s broader oeuvre of figurative studies.

This guy painted the same blank word—*Άτιτλο*, Greek for “Untitled”—over and over, as if he couldn’t be bothered to invent new titles.
