Untitled is a 1928 oil by Jean Lurçat, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a simple wooden bridge over a body of water. The bridge has two arches and a small railing. On the right side, a tiny figure stands on a platform, arms raised. The sky is pale with a faint green cloud, and the water below is dark and flat. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the wood a textured look. The colors are mostly muted, except for a small patch of orange on the far right. This painting uses impasto, where paint is laid on thickly to create texture.
