Untitled is a 1923 ink by Marie Laurencin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman with a pale face and dark, serious eyes. Her hair is pulled back under a hat, and she wears a dark collar. The lines are soft and sketchy, like quick pencil strokes. The artist signed it in the corner—Marie Laurencin. This print was made in 1923 using a process called lithography, where ink is applied to a smooth stone or plate. Check out lithography to see how artists like Laurencin made prints this way.
