Untitled is a 1971 graphite by Rosemary Mayer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a hammock hanging between two poles. The fabric is draped loosely, with soft folds in green and yellow. A small pink shape sits in the middle, like a pillow or bundle. The edges of the hammock are drawn with thin, precise lines, while the fabric itself looks sketchy and rough. The artist used colored pencils to add just a few pops of color—mostly green, yellow, and a touch of blue. The rest stays simple, almost like a quick sketch. The whole thing feels light and airy, even though it’s just pencil on paper. If you like this style, check out more by Rosemary Mayer.
