Untitled is a 1900 ink by Auguste Renoir, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a face wrapped in a dark scarf or shawl, leaving just the eyes, nose, and bow of a collar visible. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried drawing. Light and dark shades create simple shapes without much detail. The rough, sketchy style feels more like a quick study than a finished portrait. It’s made using a printing method that lets artists work fast. Next, check out lithography to see how this technique works.
