Untitled is a 1939 graphite by Jesús Guerrero Galvan, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s head and shoulders turned slightly away. Her hair is drawn in quick, loose lines, and her face is soft but not finished. The paper is mostly blank except for her body, which is barely outlined below her waist. The artist used pencil only, leaving some areas light and others darker with shading. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished work. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
