Untitled is a 1918 ink by Elie Nadelman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting depicts a figure with a distinctive headpiece, featuring a curved shape that covers the top of the head and extends down the sides, with a rounded tip at the front. The figure is shown in profile, facing left, with their hands clasped in front of them. The headpiece is rendered in a dark shade, while the rest of the figure is depicted in lighter tones. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the darker shades used for the figure. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with clean lines and minimal detail. For more information on the artist's work, explore the pieces by Elie Nadelman.
