Description
Watercolour on paper, framed and glazed. Untitled, 1975


Image shows scenes of children playing, with two on tricycles, one pushing another in a trolly, and one on a pedal vehicle that looks like a tractor. They boy at the back is black, and is the only child to have paint used to depict his skin tone - the other children are uncoloured, utilising the white paper to suggest their skin tones. Two of the childen also have no clothes. It is possible the piece is unfinished, but as it was framed by the artist, this is unlikely and it is more likely that the two girls are depicted naked.
