Untitled is a 1850 by Granville, depicting Beheaded Head, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The print reproduces a bust sculpture of Adolphe Nourrit, originally created by Dantan, with the image produced by Granville after the sculpture. Nourrit is depicted with a prominent face and curled bouffant hairstyle, and a metal chain is visible around his neck. Published by d'Aubert et de Junca, the work is a print of the sculpture rather than the original three-dimensional piece.

Granville spent his evenings in a Paris print shop, inking copper plates late into the night while everyone else slept.
