Untitled is a 1934 watercolor by Lyonel Feininger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a simple stone bridge with three arches over a sloped path. The bridge is dark against a pale background, and the sky is a flat blue strip at the top. The ground looks rough, with patches of greenish moss or paint splashes near the bottom right. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest shadows and texture, making it feel like a quick study rather than a finished drawing. The bridge’s arches are clean but the rest of the scene is loose and rough. This style is typical of watercolor, glazing—a technique where thin layers of paint build up color.
