Untitled is a 1918 ink by Alfred Kubin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The image depicts a sketch of a man with a large bird's head, possibly a raven or crow, and a long beak. He is dressed in a hat and a vest, and appears to be sitting on the ground with his legs bent in front of him. His right arm is raised, and his left arm is resting on his knee. In the background, there are some indistinct shapes that could be rocks or trees. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of fantasy and imagination. This artwork is reminiscent of the style of Alfred Kubin, an Austrian artist known for his dreamlike and often surreal illustrations.
