About Untitled

The artwork, titled “Untitled” by Francesca Woodman, was created in 1978 in Providence, Rhode Island, United States. This photograph, which is a self-portrait, measures 11.4 x 11.4 cm. The artwork captures the genre of self-portrait photography, a form often explored by Woodman in her artistic practice.

In the artwork, the artist is depicted seated on an antique wooden chair, facing slightly away from the viewer yet turning her head to gaze directly at the camera. Draped in a light, delicate dress, she adorns herself with what appears to be a fur stole, which adds a complex texture to the composition. The setup is strikingly intimate and evocative. A fox pelt can also be seen on the chair and floor, adding to the enigmatic atmosphere. Across from her, on the right side of the frame, is a taxidermy animal, possibly a dog, underscoring an almost spectral presence. The backdrop consists of wooden floors and a glass-doored cabinet filled with natural specimens, enhancing the artwork’s mysterious and contemplative ambiance.
