Untitled is a 1973 paint by Mahesvari Devi, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting is packed with bold colors and wild shapes. Two human figures stand at the top, holding pots, surrounded by bright pink leaves and swirling lines. Below them, two fierce animal faces with horns and fierce eyes stare out, set against a checkered pattern of blues and purples. The border is a thick, colorful frame with orange, yellow, and green shapes. The whole thing feels busy but balanced, like a mix of patterns and stories all at once.
