Untitled is a 1919 crayon by Käthe Kollwitz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a portrait of an older woman's head, drawn in black crayon on a white background. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her eyes are cast downward. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a headscarf. The drawing is rendered in rough, expressive lines, with visible strokes and smudges of crayon. The woman's expression is somber, and her features are worn and weathered. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and introspection. The drawing is simple, yet powerful, conveying a sense of dignity and resilience. The artist's use of bold lines and expressive strokes creates a sense of energy and emotion, drawing the viewer into the woman's quiet world.
