Untitled (Figure) c. 1944

Anne Ryan's "Untitled (Figure)" is a powerful depiction of the human form through the medium of etching. Created circa 1944, the print is a testament to Ryan's artistic journey. The minimalist composition features a single figure outlined with gestural lines, suggesting a sense of movement and emotion. The interplay of light and shadow within the lines adds depth and complexity to the image, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure's elongated limbs and the subtle curves of their body. This print exemplifies Ryan's mastery of line, a hallmark of her expressive style and characteristic of her oeuvre.
