Untitled is a 1950 ink by Dorothea Tanning, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The painting depicts a woman in a long dress standing in front of an open door. The door is tall and rectangular, with a keyhole in the center. The woman's face is not visible, and she is holding a key in her hand. The background of the painting is a mottled gray color, with a subtle texture that suggests a rough, stone-like surface. The overall effect is one of mystery and intrigue, as if the viewer is being invited to step through the doorway and explore the unknown.
