Untitled is a 1924 ink by Henri Matisse, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting with one arm raised, her head tilted back. She wears a loose, patterned dress with a necklace and bracelets. The background is filled with quick, swirling lines—like vines, clouds, and flowers—all drawn in black and gray. Notice how the artist used simple shapes to suggest movement, almost like a quick sketch. The lines feel both loose and controlled, almost like a dance. Want to learn more?
