Untitled is a 1910 oil by Henri Rousseau, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a woman lying on the ground in a thick jungle. Around her are huge plants with big leaves, flowers, and vines. A fox and a rabbit peek out from the greenery, while a tall figure in a striped hat stands in the background. The sky is dark blue with a bright moon. The plants look exaggerated—oversized and wavy, not quite real. The colors are bold, with lots of green and purple mixed in. If you like this wild style, look up Henri Rousseau.
