Untitled is a 1924 watercolor by Marie Laurencin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a pale face with big dark eyes and a neutral expression. The person wears a light blue dress and a black bow at the neckline. Their hair is light and framed by a soft, rounded shape—almost like a halo. The brushstrokes are loose and watery, blending colors smoothly. The background is plain, letting the face stand out. Try looking up *watercolor glazing* next to see how artists build light with layers.
Marie Laurencin (31 October 1883 – 8 June 1956) was a French painter and printmaker. She became an important figure in the Parisian avant-garde as a member of the Cubists associated with the Section d'Or.
