Untitled

Executed with pencil on a lightly toned canvas, the drawing employs varied line weights and cross‑hatching to build texture and depth. Areas of tight, overlapping marks contrast with more open, loosely drawn sections, creating a dynamic rhythm across the surface. The sketch‑like quality emphasizes the immediacy of the hand‑made gesture.

The work was produced by Chryssa, a Greek‑born artist who began her career in New York City in the mid‑1950s before establishing a studio in Athens in the early 1990s. Although best known for later light installations, this early drawing reflects her exploratory approach to form. It entered MoMA’s collection through acquisition in the late 20th century.
