Untitled is a 1928 watercolor by Édouard Vuillard, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a dim room, her head resting on her hand. She looks tired, with her hair pulled back and a loose dress. Behind her, a curtain or wall shows faint light, and another person’s arm is visible in the corner. The artist used quick, rough strokes—like hurried notes—to capture her mood. The paper looks worn, as if the colors faded over time. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for soft effects.
