A fluid and intimate watercolor on paper, this untitled work by Barkley L. Hendricks showcases the artist's deft handling of the medium through translucent layers of color and loose, expressive mark-making. Created in 1978, the piece offers a quieter, more introspective counterpoint to Hendricks' celebrated large-scale oil portraits, revealing his versatility and keen eye for form. The work reflects his ongoing engagement with questions of identity and presence, rendered here with a spontaneity unique to the watercolor medium.
