Untitled is a 1987 pastel by William Leavitt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a simple covered walkway with three white beams holding up a flat roof. The walls are dark, almost black, while the roof and beams are light, almost glowing. A small tree in a pot sits under the first beam, and the ground looks wet, with puddles reflecting the light. The artist used pastel on colored paper, which gives it a soft, sketchy look. The way the light hits the roof makes it look almost three-dimensional. Want to know more? Check out pastel as a drawing technique.
