Untitled is a 2003 charcoal by Richard Phillips, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a person with long dark hair and a serious face. Their chest and shoulders are bare, covered in a mix of numbers, a big "B" logo, and some text. The background looks like a faded poster with words like "GENERAL" and "ALL PERSONS." The numbers and logo on their chest are drawn in a way that looks like they’re part of the skin. The poster behind them is hard to read, but it adds to the feeling of something old mixed with the sharp lines of the body. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
