Untitled is a 1935 watercolor by Paul Kleinschmidt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a person wearing a light-colored shirt and a wide-brimmed hat tilted low. Their face is painted in bold, flat colors—deep blue eyes, a pale mustache, and a simple line for the mouth. The background is loose and sketchy, with watery strokes of gray and yellow. The hat’s shadow falls sharply across the forehead, while a few small, dangling objects—maybe keys—hang near the collar. The artist used quick, uneven brushstrokes, leaving some edges rough. Try looking up *watercolor, glazing* to see how artists build depth with thin, layered washes.
