Untitled is a 1998 oil by Peter Doig, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a landscape with a white house and a tall, dark structure, possibly a tower or a tree. The scene is set against a backdrop of green and blue hues, with darker shades at the top and bottom. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured appearance. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The contrast between the light and dark elements adds visual interest and tension to the painting.
