Untitled is a 1941 watercolor by Gustavo Lazarini Terradas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a close-up portrait of an older person with curly white hair and a serious expression. They’re wearing a light pink, collarless shirt against a pale blue background. The face is painted in soft, smooth strokes, with dark eyes and earrings catching the light. The artist used watercolor, which keeps the colors light and slightly translucent. The background is almost plain, so the face stands out clearly. Check out watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up color in layers.
Gustavo Lazarini Terradas (1918–1987) was an Uruguayan artist, born in Montevideo.
