Untitled Film Still 48 is a black and white photograph taken by Cindy Sherman in 1979. It is part of her Untitled Film Stills series, taken from 1977 to 1980. This photographic series was inspired by cinematic references. This picture is also known as The Hitchhiker. The current photograph was taken in Arizona and depicts the artist portraying a woman, with a blonde wig and her arms crossed behind her back, standing at the left side of a road, with her briefcase behind her, looking away, probably awaiting someone to pick her up. To her left, a natural landscape extends.

To her left, a natural landscape extends. This picture reflects the influence of both American and European cinema, and also recalls the work of American photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Sherman said about the picture: "Out there I wanted to be further away from the camera; I didn't want to compete with the landscape I liked being smaller in the picture and having the scenery take over". Three prints of this photograph are amongst the most expensive ever sold. A print was sold by $2,965,000 on 13 May 2015 at Christie's, New York. Another print was sold by $2,225,000 at 11 November 2014, at Sotheby's, New York, and a third by $1,565,000 at 1 April 2008, at Christie's, New York.
