About this artwork
This is “Untitled” by Peter Doig. Created in 2008, it’s a modest oil‑painted image on paper, just 247 × 350 mm in size. The work was presented by the artist in 2013 and is on display at Tate Modern. Doig’s hand is unmistakable—soft, atmospheric brushwork that draws the eye into a quiet, almost dreamlike interior. The canvas hints at everyday life: a man or woman, perhaps a quiet table tennis match, set against a backdrop of subtle architecture and foliage. A small bat or two flutter near the edges, adding a touch of the natural world. The intimacy of the scale invites viewers to linger, noticing the interplay of light, texture, and the faint suggestion of motion within this quiet scene.
