Untitled is a 1922 graphite by Savely Sorine, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This artwork depicts a ballet slipper, with the foot and lower leg visible. The slipper is rendered in shades of gray, with the foot and leg appearing to be in motion. The background of the piece is a soft, muted gray, which serves to highlight the delicate details of the slipper and the foot. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement. The use of pencil and chalk on paper creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, as if the artist has captured a fleeting moment in time.
