Untitled is a 1949 watercolor by Mary Petty, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This watercolor painting depicts a woman standing at a window, blowing a horn. The woman is dressed in a white dress and hat, and the window features an ornate iron grate. The building's facade is made of brown stone blocks, with a staircase leading up to a clock tower in the background. The scene is set at night, with the clock tower visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she blows the horn.
