Oil on canvas, 9" x 12" (20 x 25 cm) Reclining Figure Study V presents a concentrated exploration of the human form, emphasizing weight, volume, and the natural distribution of mas s within a seated reclining pose. The composition focuses on the physical presence of the figure, rendered through careful observation and controlled tonal transitions. The contrast between the illuminated form and the darker surrounding field enhances depth and dimensionality, while the restrained palette directs attention to structure rather than surface detail. The result is a study grounded in classical technique, where simplicity and clarity reinforce the strength of the composition. As part of the Studies & Archives collection, this work reflects an ongoing investigation into figure painting, capturing both immediacy and discipline within a compact format. The original artwork remains in the artist’s private collection and is available for acquisition. Limited edition prints are available in a set of 100. Show more
