Untitled is a 1989 crayon by Elizabeth Murray, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a few simple shapes on lined paper. There’s a rough oval with a curved line inside it, like a bowl or a hat. Nearby are small rectangles—some look like books or boxes—and a few odd circles that might be keys or coins. The lines are wobbly, almost like they were drawn fast or with a light hand. The paper has grid lines, which makes the shapes look a little off-kilter. It’s drawn in crayon, so the colors are soft and muted, mostly gray and brown. If you like rough, quick sketches, check out Elizabeth Murray.
