Untitled is a 1951 ink by Raúl Anguiano, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with long, wavy hair drawn down her shoulders. Her face is turned slightly to the side, and the lines around her eyes and mouth are simple but expressive. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her face and hair. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show light and shadow, giving the drawing energy. The signature in the corner reads "Raúl Anguiano 1951," so this was made over 70 years ago. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
