Untitled is a 1881 charcoal by Odilon Redon, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting depicts a man with a shaved head, gazing to his left. He is attired in a dark robe, with his right hand resting on his chest. The background of the image is predominantly black, with a lighter area at the bottom. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his eyes appear to be looking downward. His right hand is positioned near his heart, with his fingers curled inward. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and contemplative. This piece is reminiscent of the work of Odilon Redon, who was known for his exploration of the human psyche through his art.
Born Bertrand-Jean Redon on 20 April 1840 in Bordeaux, the artist adopted the name Odilon from his mother, Marie-Odile.
