About this work
Overview
Created in 2004 by German artist Katharina Wulff, this untitled work is a drawing executed in colored pencil and graphite on paper. It belongs to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it is displayed among other works that explore everyday scenes with a quiet, observational tone.
Subject & Meaning
The composition presents a woman in a patterned red‑white bikini seated on a light‑colored lounge chair, her legs crossed and right arm resting on her thigh. A man lies on the ground nearby, partially covered by a striped blanket. The setting—a blue sky, trees, and a stone wall—conveys a moment of leisure and informal intimacy.
Technique & Style
Wulff employs the fine grain of colored pencils alongside graphite to render delicate textures and subtle tonal shifts. The medium allows for soft edges and a gentle modeling of flesh, fabric, and landscape, creating a sense of immediacy while maintaining a controlled, illustrative quality.
History & Provenance
After its completion in 2004, the drawing entered the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, where it has been retained as part of the institution’s holdings of contemporary drawing. No further exhibition history or prior ownership is recorded in the available documentation.
