Portrait of Andy Warhola
c. 1948

A watercolor portrait of a bespectacled man with a contemplative expression. The painting features a blend of muted yellows, blues, and browns, with visible brush strokes that give a textured appearance. The man is depicted with round glasses, and the artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner, dated '70.
