Untitled is a 1888 oil by Georges Seurat, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a serene seaside scene. A row of houses lines the left side, with a set of stairs leading down to the water. The sea is calm, with a few boats visible in the distance. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The painting's use of small, distinct brushstrokes and a muted color palette gives it a sense of tranquility and realism. The artist's attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of the houses and the sea, adds to the overall sense of calmness.
