Untitled is a 1914 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white scene with sharp, jagged lines and dark shadows. The shapes look like a group of people or figures, but they’re twisted and hard to make out. The background has a textured, almost woven look, with lots of crisscrossing lines. The artist used a printmaking method that creates these rough, scratchy marks. The signature in the corner says "Jacques Villon," but the rest of the details are hidden in the dark. If you like this style, look up etching to see how it works.
