Untitled is a 1948 oil by Philomé Obin, a Haitian Folk Painting work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a vibrant scene of four men and a horse in front of a colorful building. The men, dressed in blue shirts and pants, wear green hats and hold brooms and a wheelbarrow. One man sits on the horse, which is adorned with a red saddle and reins. The building features a mix of yellow, white, and red walls, with brown doors and a red roof. In the foreground, the men and horse are set against a backdrop of the building's facade. The artist's use of bold colors and simple forms creates a sense of energy and movement.
