Untitled is a 1915 by Henri Matisse, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a nude figure in a simple, white line drawing on a black background. The figure is turned to the side, with their head tilted back and arms raised above their head. The drawing is minimalist, focusing on the curves and contours of the body. The figure is depicted in a relaxed, natural pose, with no visible facial expression. The use of a single color and simple lines creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
