Untitled is a 1995 watercolor by Marlene Dumas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a close-up of a face with a smooth, pale gray background. The eyes are dark and slightly hooded, the nose is small, and the lips are full and painted a deep red. The face is outlined in a thin white line, giving it a floating look. The artist used watercolor, which keeps the colors soft and blending. The title isn’t descriptive—just *Untitled*—but the style feels personal and a little mysterious. If you like this, check out Marlene Dumas.
