Untitled is a 1921 watercolor by Otto Dix, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two faces close together, almost overlapping. One person wears a light-colored hat and a coat, while the other has a bright yellow hat and a fur collar. Their expressions are serious, with big eyes staring forward. The background is loose and blurry, like quick brushstrokes or smudged pencil. The artist used watercolor and pencil, keeping the lines rough and the colors soft. The faces feel half-finished, as if sketched fast. The fur collar on the right looks almost alive, with tiny strokes that add texture. Try looking up *watercolor, glazing* to see how artists build depth with thin, layered paint.
Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix was a German painter and printmaker, noted for his ruthless and harshly realistic depictions of German society during the Weimar Republic and the brutality of war.
