Untitled is a 1987 ink by John Bellany, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching depicts a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, with his hand resting on his chin. The man's attire is loose-fitting, and the background is filled with abstract lines and shapes. The etching is rendered in a range of grays, with the man's face and clothing standing out against the busy background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is lost in thought. The etching is a great example of John Bellany's skill with the medium, and it's a great piece to explore if you're interested in learning more about his work.
