Untitled is a 1904 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image presents a black and white sketch of a woman standing with her back to the viewer, facing a man who is kissing her on the cheek. The woman is dressed in a dark skirt and a white shirt, while the man wears dark pants and a dark shirt. In the background, several people are visible, although their features are not clearly defined. The sketch appears to be a study in contrasts, with the dark clothing of the figures set against a lighter background. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance.
