Untitled is a 1917 watercolor by Christian Rohlfs, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a seated figure wrapped in a dark coat, holding a hat. The background is a messy mix of yellows, reds, and greens, with no clear shapes. The person’s face is half-lit, and their posture looks tense, like they’re leaning forward. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick study. The colors pop but don’t quite blend smoothly—it feels raw and unfinished. If you like this style, check out Christian Rohlfs.
Christian Rohlfs (November 22, 1849 - January 8, 1938) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the important representatives of German expressionism.
