Untitled is a 2009 ink by Kiki Smith, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a woman standing with her arms at her sides, holding a branch with green leaves. She’s naked, with a simple, pale outline that looks like it was sketched quickly. The background is plain and light, so the focus stays on her and the branch. The artist added the leaves by hand after printing, making them look real and fresh. The way the branch curves in her fingers feels almost like she’s holding a piece of nature close. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists mix printing and handwork.
