Untitled is a 1939 watercolor by Jacques Lipchitz, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a nude figure with outstretched arms and legs. The figure is drawn in black lines, with some parts shaded in brown. The background is mostly white, with some brown splotches around the figure. The figure's body is contorted in an unusual way, with the head tilted back and the arms and legs splayed out to the sides. The brown shading adds depth and texture to the figure, giving it a sense of volume and weight. The painting's use of bold lines and expressive shading creates a dynamic and energetic feel.
