Untitled is a 1930 ink by Mabel Dwight, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a woman balancing on a rearing white horse. She’s dressed in a short, flowing tutu and has her arms raised, as if dancing. Below her, a man in old-fashioned armor kneels, holding the horse’s reins. Birds fly around them, and the background looks like a stage with dim lighting. The artist used sharp lines and dark contrasts to make the scene feel dramatic. The woman’s pose and the horse’s movement suggest something magical or theatrical. Want to know more?
