Untitled is a 1909 ink by Henri Matisse, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image depicts a nude figure, rendered in bold black ink on paper. The subject is positioned with their back to the viewer, their head turned slightly to the right. Their left arm is raised, with their hand resting on their head, while their right arm is bent at the elbow, with their hand touching their right shoulder. The figure is set against a backdrop of vertical lines, which may represent a wall or curtain. The overall effect is one of dynamic movement and energy, as if the figure is about to turn or move. The use of bold lines and expressive brushstrokes gives the image a sense of spontaneity and freedom.
