Untitled is a 1910 pastel by Spencer Gore, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two people in a boat. The woman in a white dress with pink flowers leans forward, while the man in dark clothes holds an oar. The water is dark blue, and the boat’s edge is rough and uneven. The background looks like a blurry, colorful shoreline with hints of green and brown. The pastel colors are soft but smudged, giving the scene a quick, sketchy feel. The artist used thick lines and loose strokes, almost like a hurried sketch. Try looking up *pastel* to see how this soft, waxy medium works.
