Nude at Rest

SOLD

An emotive and very well-executed mid-century figurative nude composition, painted in oil on canvas.

A nude female figure is presented lying upright on a striped couch in an interior setting. She is resting with her gaze turned away, unaware of the observer’s presence.

All realistic details have been omitted, and instead, there is a strong focus on expressive brushwork that heightens the emotional resonance of the scene. The brushstrokes are bold and dynamic, imbuing the work with a sense of movement and emotional depth.

The limited colour palette of cream, brown, black, and blue creates a harmonious yet poignant atmosphere, emphasising the figure’s solitude and demonstrating depth in the painting.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with multiple ridges. The painting has some craquelure present, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

Size: 43 x 49 cm (including frame)
