Item Details

Description
Executed in 1981, this original charcoal drawing captures a reclining nude with remarkable sensitivity and poise. The artist employs a minimalist approach—soft lines, delicate shading, and a warm-toned ground—to evoke a deeply contemplative atmosphere. The figure appears to dissolve gently into the background, lending the composition a sense of stillness and grace. There is an academic precision to the anatomy, yet the overall mood remains introspective and intimate. Likely the work of a classically trained hand, this piece bridges traditional technique with emotive subtlety. Its quiet sophistication makes it especially appealing for collectors of figurative art and designers seeking a timeless focal point for refined interiors.
