Untitled is a 1927 oil by Guy Pène du Bois, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four women in 1920s-style dresses and hats, walking in a line along a balcony. They're all wearing heels and carrying small purses. The background is a blue sky with white clouds, and a building with a green lawn and trees. The women are dressed similarly, but each has her own style. One woman is looking to her right, while the others look straight ahead. The balcony has a black railing, and the floor is brown. The painting has a lot of detail, especially in the women's clothes and accessories. You can see the folds in their dresses and the shapes of their hats. To learn more about this style of painting, look up the artist Guy Pène du Bois.
Guy Pène du Bois was a 20th-century American painter, art critic, and educator. Born in the U.S. to a French family, his work depicted the culture and society around him: cafes, theatres, and in the twenties, flappers.
