Untitled is a 1958 crayon by Claes Oldenburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This portrait is a sketch of a man's head and shoulders. He has short, curly hair and is wearing a collared shirt. The drawing is done in lithographic crayon on paper, with bold lines and shading that give the subject a sense of depth and dimension. The artist's use of lithographic crayon creates a rough, textured look that adds to the overall feeling of the piece. The subject's expression is neutral, but there is a sense of intensity in his eyes that draws the viewer in.
