Untitled is a 1963 watercolor by Elisabeth Frink, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a face in profile, but it’s rough and unfinished. The lines are wobbly, like they were drawn fast, and the colors are mostly pale browns and whites. One side of the face is darker, almost shadowy, while the other side looks lighter, almost erased. There’s a faint red mark near the mouth, and the background has a few loose scribbles. The artist left their name in the corner—Elisabeth Frink—along with the year 1963. This isn’t a polished portrait; it feels more like a quick study or a draft. The watercolor looks thin in spots, letting the paper show through. Check out how artists use watercolor, glazing to create layers of color.
