Untitled is a 1973 ink by Michelangelo Pistoletto, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black-and-white image of a single pigeon perched on a metal ledge. The background is a plain, light gray wall, almost like a blank canvas. The bird is facing to the right, its feathers dark and slightly fuzzy, with a small patch of lighter color on its neck. The ledge looks like it could be part of a window or balcony. The artist used a mix of simple shapes and textures to make the scene feel quiet and still. If you like this, check out lithography to see how artists print images like this.
