Untitled is a 1949 oil by Bernard Buffet, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark, spiky fish on a white table. The fish is lying on its side, with its head on the left and its tail on the right. It has sharp spikes all over its body. There's a dark jug on the left side of the table, and two small yellow squares on the table in front of the fish. The background is light gray. The fish and the jug are painted in dark colors, while the table and background are lighter. The overall mood of the painting is somber and quiet.
