Untitled is a 1928 ink by Olga Costa, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This lithograph shows a seated child in a simple chair. The child, who is barefoot, wears loose-fitting pants and a shirt with a square patch on the chest. The child's face is expressionless. The child sits with their legs crossed, and their hands rest on their lap. The chair has a backrest but no armrests. The background of the lithograph is a solid color, which helps to focus attention on the child. The simplicity of the composition and the use of a solid background create a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation.
