Untitled is a 1927 ink by André Derain, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This portrait features a woman with short, curly hair and a neutral expression. Her right hand is raised to her face, with her fingers curled inward. The image is rendered in black and white, with visible lines and shading that suggest a lithograph print. The woman's gaze is directed slightly to her left, and her facial features are defined by bold lines and subtle shading. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The use of lithography in this portrait adds a sense of depth and texture to the image.
