Untitled is a 1988 ink by Jacob Lawrence, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a scene of four black figures in a landscape, with three of them holding weapons. The figures are dressed in vibrant clothing, with one wearing a red and yellow headwrap, another in blue pants with a red shirt, and the third in a brown shirt. The fourth figure is shown from behind, wearing a white shirt. The background features a brown landscape with green plants in the foreground and a gray sky above. The painting's bold colors and dynamic composition create a sense of energy and movement. The use of screenprint as a medium adds a layer of texture and depth to the image.
