Untitled is a 1921 graphite by Giorgio de Chirico, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The image presents a pencil drawing on paper, showcasing a man's head and upper torso. His hair is dark and wavy, framing his face, which features a prominent nose and chin. The man's right hand is raised, with his thumb and index finger touching his chin. The background of the drawing is light-colored, with subtle shading that adds depth to the composition. A notable detail in the drawing is the use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques to create texture and shading. These techniques are evident in the man's hair, beard, and clothing, adding a sense of realism to the portrait. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico, who was known for his use of bold lines and geometric shapes in his artwork.
Giuseppe Maria Alberto Giorgio de Chirico ( KIRR-ik-oh; Italian: ; 10 July 1888 – 20 November 1978) was a Greek-Italian artist and writer born in Volos, Greece.
