Untitled is a 1959 oil by Gazbia Sirry, a Orientalism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a woman in a bright red dress with a low neckline and a round, dark shape in the middle. Her face is simple, with straight lines for features and a blue streak on her forehead. Behind her, two blurred figures stand—one in a light, flowing robe and another in dark, heavy clothes. The colors are bold, with red dominating, and the brushstrokes look thick and uneven. The red dress stands out against the faded, rough background, making the woman the clear focus. The painting feels unfinished, like layers of paint were added and then left as-is.
