Untitled is a 1947 ink by Barbara E. Fumagalli, depicting insect, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This engraving shows a close-up of an insect, its wings spread wide. The lines are sharp and detailed, like a tiny metal stamp. You can almost see the texture of each vein in the wings. It’s not just a bug. Fumagalli used cross-hatching—tiny lines layered over each other—to create shadows and depth. The result feels almost three-dimensional. Want to see more like this?
