Untitled (Orange Mezzotint) [trial proof H]

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image shows a central square shape with dotted lines forming its border, containing abstract facial features like eyes, a nose, and circular shapes resembling cheeks or buttons. Surrounding the square are intertwined lines and organic shapes that suggest the presence of limbs or tangled vines. The background pattern may remind viewers of an entangled puzzle or a detailed quilt. At the bottom, a horizontal strip with symbols or small text is present.
