Soul

SOLD.

An absolutely brilliant mid century nude study, painted in oil and dated 1944.

In this composition a female figure sits on an intricate fabric, her gaze turned away from us. The minimalist palette of her body sits in contrast to the richly coloured fabric below her, creating a wonderful juxtaposition. The artist’s brushstrokes are long and expressive, giving this piece its painterly feel.

Although we don’t know the story behind this painting, the inscription on the reverse which translates to ‘My first and greatest love’ hints at the figure’s significance to the artist and imbues the painting with so much more meaning.

The painting is housed in a really lovely deep profile frame which suits it wonderfully. The painting has some light age marks and the frame has some scuffing, but neither of these detract from the attractiveness of the piece.

Size: 57 x 49 cm (including frame)
