Untitled is a 1966 ink by Zwi Milshtein, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a rough, textured scene with a nine-branched candelabrum (menorah) glowing in the center. Below it, a person kneels by a dark, uneven surface with Hebrew writing. The background looks like cracked stone or clouds, and the whole piece has a worn, uneven edge. The menorah stands out as the brightest part, with flames flickering on each branch. The Hebrew text might be a prayer or passage, but it’s hard to read. If you like this style, look into the technique: etching to see how artists create texture like this.
