Untitled is a 1912 pastel by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a side view of a head wearing a flat cap. The face is simple but expressive, with a strong jawline and a hint of a pipe in the mouth. The background is made of bold, messy strokes in red, orange, and yellow. The artist used soft pastels, blending colors loosely for a rough, sketchy feel. The signature in the corner reads "H. Gaudier Brzeska '12." Check out pastel to see how this medium works.
