Untitled is a 1878 charcoal by Odilon Redon, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a large, dark, eye-like shape in the center, with a smaller circle inside. The shape has spiky lines around it, like eyelashes. It's floating above a dark landscape with some plants in the foreground. The background is a light color, and the whole painting looks like it was made with charcoal or chalk on colored paper. The artist used dark lines and shading to create depth and texture. If you like this style, you might want to check out more works by Odilon Redon.
