Untitled is a 1891 crayon by Jacques Villon, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a close-up of a bearded man’s face and neck. The lines are scratchy and uneven, like quick strokes with a pen or needle. His hair and beard are textured with crosshatching, and his eyes are mostly shadowed. The artist used a mix of ink and crayon to build up the image, leaving some areas rough and others slightly blurred. The paper has a worn look, with faint marks around the edges.
