Here we have a stunning watercolor on paper from the 1960s by renowned French artist Charles Levier (1920-2003). Let's get right to it. She's got the edge, the look, the wits, and the power. The queen walks down the street and everyone is observing. The blue shadow over her eyes is just stone cold. What a look. Love the side gaze and what's going on behind it.
