The artwork, “Untitled #96,” created by Cindy Sherman in 1981, is a portrait with dimensions of 61 by 121.9 centimeters.
“Untitled #96” features a subject reclining on a patterned, tiled floor. The figure is dressed in an orange top and a checkered orange and white skirt, holding a crumpled newspaper or magazine fragment. The subject’s gaze is directed away from the viewer, evoking an introspective and contemplative mood. The use of color and composition, combined with the setting, suggests a narrative open to interpretation, characteristic of Sherman’s distinctive approach to portraiture. The earthy tones of the floor complement the warm hues of the subject’s clothing, creating a cohesive and visually striking image.
