Untitled is a 1992 ink by Kathleen Lindsley Ian Hamilton Finlay, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a basket brimming with plants and fruits. You can see numbered leaves and flowers—each one labeled with a name like "Hazelnut" or "Crayfish." The basket sits on a flat surface, and the whole thing looks like a close-up sketch. The numbers and labels aren’t random. They’re part of a calendar made during the French Revolution, where months were renamed after nature. This image picks just ten days from one month. If you’re curious about how this kind of print was made, look up lithography.
Kathleen Lindsley Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925–2006) was a British artist.
