Untitled is a 2008 watercolor by Kiki Smith, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a scene with a girl in a red cape and bonnet, holding a basket, standing in the doorway of a room. The room features a bed with a white sheet and a dark-colored dog jumping off it. A wooden chair lies on the floor, and the walls are adorned with vertical lines. The girl's facial expression is neutral, while the dog's mouth is open, and its tongue is out. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of brown, gray, and yellow dominating the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the girl and dog seemingly lost in thought. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of watercolor, you might want to explore the technique of glazing, which involves applying multiple thin layers of transparent paint to achieve a deep, rich color.
