Untitled is a 1929 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person lying down, half-covered by a blanket. The face is drawn in simple, strong lines, with big eyes and a serious look. The background is mostly empty, with just a hint of a pillow or cloth behind the head. The artist used a scratchy, textured style that makes the lines look rough. This isn’t a smooth drawing—it’s more like the marks were made with sharp tools on metal. If you like this style, look up etching to see how it’s made.
