Origins and History
Oil drawings are a form of art that dates back to the Renaissance period, where artists began to use oil paints to create their works. During the 17th and 18th centuries, oil drawings were used as preparatory studies for larger paintings. These drawings were often created on paper, vellum, or canvas and were used to explore composition, color, and form. The 19th century saw a rise in the popularity of oil drawings as a standalone art form, with artists such as John Constable and J.M.W. Turner creating exquisite pieces. Today, contemporary oil drawings are still widely used in the art world, with artists experimenting with new techniques and materials to push the boundaries of this traditional art form.

"Untitled (Head)" by Alice Neel, created in 1976, is a hauntingly beautiful portrait that captures the essence of its subject. The artist’s use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture that brings the subject to life, while the somber color palette adds to the melancholic mood of the piece.
