Untitled is a 1984 charcoal by Graham Nickson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This charcoal drawing on paper features a window with a view of a mountainous landscape and a body of water. The window is framed by a wall, and to the right, a nude figure stands with their hands on their chest. The figure's face is obscured by their hair. The landscape outside the window is rendered in dark, muted tones, while the figure is depicted in lighter shades, creating a sense of contrast between the two elements. The overall mood of the piece is somber and contemplative. The use of charcoal and the emphasis on shading and texture create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the drawing. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's techniques, you might want to explore the work of Graham Nickson.
