Untitled is a 1917 watercolor by Marie Laurencin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a woman's profile, with a dark, curly hairstyle and a blue bird perched on her shoulder. The background is a warm, beige color. The woman's face is rendered in soft, gentle lines, with a subtle expression. Her dark hair is styled in loose, flowing curls that frame her face. The blue bird on her shoulder adds a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise muted color palette. The painting's use of watercolor and crayon creates a sense of delicacy and fragility, while the subject's calm demeanor invites the viewer to reflect on the beauty of simplicity.
