Rose Wylie’s Portrait 16 is a minimalist lithograph created in 2017 that captures the elegance of a bow tie and shirt front with simple, flowing lines. This limited edition print uses stark black on a white background to evoke the formal attire's sophistication, with Wylie’s signature loose and expressive line work lending a playful, almost whimsical quality to the piece. The composition’s simplicity allows viewers to focus on the outline’s boldness and the contrast between black and white, creating an evocative study in form and minimalism. Wylie’s approach here combines elegance with an informal touch, making the formal bow tie feel unexpectedly light and lively.
