Untitled is a 2015 graphite by Kiki Smith, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting shows a turkey perched on tree branches. The turkey's feathers are intricately detailed, with shades of brown and grey. Its head is blue and red, with a long neck and yellow beak. The branches are dark brown and twisted, filling the background of the image. The turkey is drawn in colored pencil, with etching and aquatint techniques used to create texture and depth. The artist has carefully rendered the bird's feathers, giving the impression of softness and movement. The painting is a beautiful example of Kiki Smith's work. If you're interested in learning more about her techniques, you might want to explore the art of etching.
