Untitled is a 2003 graphite by Sam Salisbury, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two people in a wooded area. One is kneeling by a small stream, holding a bird in their hands. Their hair is long and loose, and they look down with a serious expression. Behind them, another person stands, half-hidden by trees, with a sad or worried face. The artist used only pencil on paper, creating deep shadows and smooth shading to show texture. The bird in the kneeling person’s hands looks fragile, almost like it’s just been found. Check out the artist’s use of *cross-hatching* to see how they built up details.
