A French School nude with a wonderful looseness to it — expressive rather than academic, with quick, confident brushwork and an unusually soft, modern palette of dusty pinks, celad on green, lilac and ochre. The figure is simplified almost to the point of abstraction, giving the composition a distinctly mid-century feel. There is an intimacy to the scale and setting that makes it feel very personal, almost like a private studio study. The textured gilt frame suits it beautifully, adding warmth and contrast to the cooler tones within the painting. Oil on canvas by unknown artist, signed lower left - French school, 20th century. Dimensions 41.5x24.5cm including frame. Condition: Frame has some areas of repair as shown in photos. Show more
