Untitled is a 1971 ink by Charles White, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a close-up of a person’s face and hands, with soft shadows and a calm expression. Below, a bright purple rose sits on a textured surface made of overlapping shapes. The background looks like it’s made of folded paper or fabric. The artist used a mix of dark and light tones to create depth, with the rose standing out as the only splash of color. The hands appear gentle, almost protective. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
