Untitled is a 1945 ink by David Alfaro Siqueiros, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a side view of a woman’s face and long hair. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, giving it a raw, unfinished feel. The shading is mostly in browns and tans, with no background—just the shape of her head against a plain white page. The signature in the corner reads "A. Siqueiros," and the date stamp says "proof W 3/25." That "proof" means this is an early test print, not the final version. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this make prints with stone and ink.
