Untitled is a 1690 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three small scenes inside richly decorated rooms. Women in bright colors—yellow, red, and orange—sit on cushions, holding babies or talking. The walls have intricate patterns, and the roofs outside have white domes and red tiles. Each scene looks like a private moment, but all three fit together like panels. The bright colors and detailed patterns suggest this might be from a time when artists loved rich textures and bold colors. The women’s clothing and the way they’re arranged look planned, not random.

The painting, created in opaque watercolour on paper around 1690, depicts a scene in a palace where three women, accompanied by their attendants, care for three infant monkeys born to divine beings incarnated as monkeys. A fourth woman is shown in the act of childbirth, also giving birth to a monkey.
