Wallace Berman, Jay DeFeo

Untitled
1958

A grayscale image of a seated person wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a sleeveless top, with their head bowed and hands resting on their lap. The setting appears to be a dimly lit room with a chair and a vase with flowers in the background, creating a contemplative atmosphere. The image has a textured overlay that gives it a canvas-like appearance.
