Untitled is a 1941 watercolor by Rene Portocarrero, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four women in a dreamy, grassy field. The woman on the left wears a pink dress with a red heart and gold trim, standing still with one hand on her hip. The other three women dance barefoot, their arms raised or linked, with floating hair and loose clothes. Bright flowers and clouds fill the background, and the colors are soft and watery. The artist used notebook paper and simple lines, making it feel like a sketch. The loose, flowing style makes the scene feel light and free.
