Untitled is a 1911 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face in profile, her hair pulled back in a smooth bun. The lines around her are messy and scratchy, like quick strokes with a pencil. Her dress looks simple, but the background is just empty paper. The artist used a method that leaves rough, uneven marks—this is how they made the lines. It’s not a polished drawing but feels alive from the scratches. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
