About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1921 lithograph by Otto Mueller, held at The Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts three women standing together, their heads tilted in a gentle, intimate gesture. Their simple, expressive faces are characterized by soft shading around the eyes and mouths.
Technique & Style
Mueller employed lithography, a technique involving layering ink on a flat stone before transferring it to paper, resulting in smooth yet subtly textured lines. The loose, sketchy quality of the black-and-white drawing is typical of this medium.
