Untitled is a 1962 ink by Vita Castro, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching shows a couple dressed up in fancy clothes, but with a twist - they're skeletons. The woman on the left wears a long dress and a big hat with a feather, while the man on the right has a top hat and holds a cane. They stand in front of a dark background, with some objects that are hard to make out. The skeletons are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, which might suggest they're from a different time period. The artist, Vita Castro, might be using this image to comment on the fleeting nature of life and fashion.
