Untitled is a 1929 watercolor by Charles Demuth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a still life of two ears of corn and three peaches. The corn is wrapped in green leaves, and the peaches are a light red color. The background of the painting is a light beige color. The painting is done in watercolor, with pencil details. The brushstrokes are smooth and blended, giving the painting a soft look. The colors are muted, with the peaches being the most vibrant part of the painting. The artist's use of watercolor creates a delicate and intimate feel to the painting. The still life is a common subject in art, but this painting's use of soft colors and smooth brushstrokes gives it a unique feel.
