Untitled is a 1963 ink by Robert Watts, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white photo shows a grand building with tall columns and a triangular pediment. People in old-fashioned clothes walk around in front of it, some standing still, others moving. A horse-drawn carriage is parked near the left side, and a few small groups chat on the steps. The building looks like a government or public space, with flags hanging near the entrance. The photo feels staged—some figures have red dots covering their faces, and numbers in circles mark their spots. Look up lithography next to see how this image was actually made.
