Untitled is a 1972 graphite by Betye Saar, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This artwork presents a doll-like figure with a dark, featureless face and a prominent nose. The figure is adorned with a patterned dress, a belt around its waist, and a headscarf. The background is a light color with stars and eyes visible. The artwork is rendered in a mix of media, including marker, pencil, stamped ink, and solvent transfer on torn, painted paper. This combination of techniques adds texture and depth to the piece. The use of a doll-like figure and the incorporation of various media are reminiscent of the work of Betye Saar.
