Untitled is a 1967 graphite by Horst Janssen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting features a nude figure, with the focus on the torso and upper body. The subject's face is not visible, and the lower body is only partially shown. The artist has used crayon and pencil on paper to create a soft, gentle effect. The figure is depicted in a relaxed pose, with the arms and hands not clearly visible. The background is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. The use of crayon and pencil creates a sense of texture and depth, adding to the overall impact of the painting.
