Charles White

Untitled
1934

A watercolor painting on paper depicting a seated woman reading a newspaper. The artwork is characterized by loose brushstrokes and vibrant splashes of color, primarily in shades of orange and green. The figure is rendered with a sense of movement and the background is left unfinished. The artist's signature, "Charles White," is visible at the bottom of the painting. The paper has perforated edges on the left side, suggesting it was once part of a sketchbook.
