Untitled is a 1997 ink by Elizabeth Murray, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a rough, dark shape that looks like a face or mask with a big nose and mouth. Around it are jagged lines and splashes of color—reds, greens, and blues—like something torn or smudged. The edges are fuzzy, almost like ink bleeding into water. The artist used a mix of scratchy lines and soft washes to make it feel uneven and alive. The colors pop against the white background, giving it a messy, energetic vibe. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create these textures with acid and metal plates.
