Als Veteran der Schlacht von Verdun wurde Fernand Leger Zeuge des Grauens und der erschütternden Verluste von mehr als einer Million seiner Landsleute während des Ersten Weltkriegs. Diese schreckliche Erfahrung des Kampfes in den Schützengräben Europas hinterließ bei dem Künstler unauslöschliche Spuren. Die modernen und mechanisierten Aspekte dieser neuen Form der Kriegsführung, mit Panzern, moderner Artillerie und grausamen Taktiken, inspirierten Leger zu einigen seiner größten Meisterwerke.

Die vorliegende Zeichnung, die 1930 entstand, ist ein Relikt aus dem Jahrzehnt nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Ohne Titel (1930) wurde von der Katherine Kuh Galeere in Chicago erworben und ist von der Familie des ursprünglichen Käufers tadellos erhalten worden. Es ist äußerst selten, dass Zeichnungen wie Ohne Titel außerhalb von Museumssammlungen zu finden sind.
