Untitled is a 1901 crayon by Odilon Redon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This portrait sketch is drawn in a reddish-brown crayon on a light brown paper background. The subject is a man with a beard and short hair, wearing a loose-fitting jacket. He is shown in profile, looking to the left. The sketch is detailed, with visible lines and shading that give the subject depth and dimension. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. For more portraits like this, check out the work of artist Odilon Redon.
Born Bertrand-Jean Redon on 20 April 1840 in Bordeaux, the artist adopted the name Odilon from his mother, Marie-Odile.
