Untitled is a 1927 tempera by Batiste Madalena, a abstract expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting depicts a man's face, rendered in tempera on poster board. He wears a black hat and a red bandana, with a yellow shirt featuring white polka dots visible around his neck. The man's facial expression is somber, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. A small inscription at the bottom of the painting reads "As 'The Unknown'". The background of the painting is predominantly black, which serves to accentuate the subject's features. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the art of Batiste Madalena.
