Untitled is a 1928 ink by John Heartfield, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a man in a suit and bow tie, holding a model of a warship. The man has short hair and round glasses, and he is looking at the model with a serious expression. The model is detailed, with many small parts and features that suggest it is a realistic representation of a warship. The background of the painting is a light color, which helps to focus attention on the man and the model. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is studying the model with great care. The artist who created this painting is John Heartfield (Helmut Herzfeld).
