Untitled is a 1913 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a face and shoulders in black and white. The lines are scratchy, like someone pressed hard with a sharp tool. The background is a mix of dark and light shapes, but the face stands out because it’s smoother. The artist used a method called *drypoint*—think of it like scratching into a metal plate to make prints. The marks are all over the place, but the face feels almost like it’s peeking through the chaos. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more works like it.
