Untitled is a 1888 watercolor by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows three nude figures standing in a loose group. The paint is quick and sketchy, with watery blues and greens for the background. One figure leans forward, another stands straight, and the third bends slightly—all drawn in pencil and soft washes of color. The figures look like quick studies, not polished. Cézanne often used watercolor this way—light layers to build form, not detail. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use it for loose, expressive sketches.
