Untitled is a 1928 watercolor by Diego Rivera, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a man sitting at a table, with his left hand raised to his face. He is wearing a dark jacket over a light-colored shirt and has short brown hair. The table in front of him holds a teacup, saucer, and a plate with what appears to be bread. The background features a window with white curtains and a brown frame. The man's posture and the arrangement of objects on the table suggest a quiet, everyday scene. The use of watercolor on graph paper gives the painting a sense of informality and spontaneity.
