Untitled is a 1914 watercolor by Amedeo Modigliani, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a seated nude woman with long, flowing hair. She’s turned slightly to the side, one arm resting on her knee while the other hand hangs loose. The background is mostly blank, with just a few dark lines for her hair and a shadowy shape behind her. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor washes giving soft tones to her skin and the dark hair. The artist didn’t focus on details—just big shapes and gentle strokes. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use thin, translucent layers to build up color.
