Untitled is a 1896 oil by Édouard Vuillard, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting by a window, reading or writing at a small table. She wears a white blouse, a dark skirt, and a red hat. The room behind her is dim, with heavy curtains in shades of pink and brown. Outside, sunlight spills in, lighting up a tree branch and a bit of the street. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, blending colors instead of sharp lines. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy details. Check out Impressionism for more paintings like this one.
