Untitled is a 1947 ink by Luis Arenal, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman’s head turned slightly to the side. Her hair is pulled back, and a single earring dangles near her jaw. The lines are smooth but precise, with deep shadows on her face and neck. The artist used a printing method called lithography, where ink sticks to a flat stone or plate. This keeps the image sharp and clean. Next, check out lithography to see how it works.
