Untitled is a 1996 graphite by Elizabeth Peyton, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a woman with short, dark hair and bangs, gazing to the left. Her face is rendered in shades of brown and white, with a subtle expression. She wears a dark-colored top with a patterned design. The background of the painting is a deep, rich brown, which provides a striking contrast to the subject's features. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. The artist's use of ink wash and pencil on paper creates a sense of intimacy and delicacy, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face.
