Untitled is a 1900 crayon by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a crayon drawing on paper of a woman's head and shoulders. She has dark hair pulled back and is wearing a dark head covering or hat. The drawing is done in blue crayon and is signed "Jas. Villon" in the lower right corner. The drawing is simple and expressive, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist's use of crayon gives the drawing a rough, sketchy quality. The subject's face is turned slightly to the left, and her eyes are cast downward. Her features are delicate and refined, with high cheekbones and a small nose. The drawing is a portrait of a woman, likely from the early 20th century. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the term "chiaroscuro".
