Vétéran de la bataille de Verdun, Fernand Léger a été témoin de l'horreur et de la perte stupéfiante de plus d'un million de ses compatriotes pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Cette expérience horrible des combats dans les tranchées d'Europe a laissé une marque indélébile sur l'artiste. Les aspects modernes et mécanisés de cette nouvelle forme de guerre, avec les chars d'assaut, l'artillerie moderne et les tactiques effroyables, ont inspiré à Léger certains de ses plus grands chefs-d'œuvre.

Le dessin Présent, exécuté en 1930, est un vestige de la décennie qui a suivi la Première Guerre mondiale. Sans titre (1930) a été acheté à la galerie Katherine Kuh à Chicago et a été impeccablement conservé par la famille de l'acheteur d'origine. Il est extrêmement rare de trouver des dessins comme Sans titre en dehors des collections de musées.
