Untitled 3 (Littmann pp. 18–21) by Keith Haring combines several of the artist's most recognisable motifs into a concise and visually striking piece. Two barking figures dominate the scene, positioned above a crawling baby, while a television screen in the upper corner broadcasts a miniature version of the same barking dog imagery that Haring employed throughout his career.

The barking dog is one of the most persistent symbols in Haring's work. Depending on the context, it can function as a sign of authority, warning, control or public communication. Here, the motif appears both within the television screen and in the physical space of the work itself, blurring the distinction between mediated imagery and lived experience. The repetition suggests a flow of information from screen to viewer, transforming the television from a passive object into an active participant within the scene.

Created in 1982, Untitled 3 belongs to a formative period in Haring's career when imagery first developed in New York's subway system was being translated into editioned prints and gallery exhibitions. The black-and-white palette emphasises the strength of his line, while the dotted surfaces and radiating marks create movement and visual rhythm throughout the print
