Untitled is a 1961 graphite by Alina Szapocznikow, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows three sketches of a human head, each from a different angle. The top-right sketch is a full-face view, while the other two are side profiles. All three sketches are drawn in black ink and pencil on a beige background. The sketches appear to be studies for a larger work, possibly a sculpture. The artist has focused on capturing the contours and shapes of the head, rather than adding details like facial features. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look up the concept of cross-hatching.
