Untitled is a 1937 oil by Tebo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a close-up portrait of a person with a round face and dark hair pulled back. Their skin is painted in warm brown tones, and they’re wearing a dark collar that sits high on the neck. The background is a rough, greenish brushstroke, almost like a wall or curtain. The artist used thick paint for the face, giving it a textured look—like you could almost feel the brushstrokes. Their expression is calm but serious, with a slight nose stud visible. Next, check out the technique called *impasto* to see how artists build up paint like this.
