Untitled is a 1944 ink by Jacques Villon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white figure made entirely of crisscrossed lines. The person is sitting, wearing a hat and coat, with their legs crossed. The background is filled with the same dense, web-like pattern. The artist used a technique where ink is scratched into a metal plate to create the lines. This makes the lines sharp and consistent. Look up etching to see how it works.
