Untitled is a 1959 watercolor by Mary Petty, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a woman in a pink dress sitting on a chair, sipping tea from a cup. She is positioned on the left side of the image, with a table in front of her featuring a teapot, cups, and a cake. The scene is set in a garden, surrounded by trees and flowers, with a large brick building visible in the background. The woman's attire and the setting suggest a leisurely afternoon in a serene environment. The artist's use of watercolor and ink creates a delicate, dreamy quality to the painting.
