Untitled is a 2002 charcoal by William Kentridge, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man and woman standing close in a dim room. The woman wears a long white dress and a veil, holding something small in her hands. The man is in a dark suit with a white shirt, looking at her with a slight smile. Behind them, a chair and a doorway are barely visible in the shadowy background. The brushstrokes are rough and smudged, almost like a quick sketch. The colors are muted, with the white dress standing out against the darker tones. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
