'nude study' - vintage mid century framed figurative female portrait oil painting

A large, richly coloured mid century nude study oil, painted in 1949. There is a palpable sense of ‘ease’ to the nude figure, who sits relaxed in her chair – her face and body are relaxed, with no ounce of stiffness present. Her surroundings too are homely and warm – a flower pot sits by the window with the curtain drawn open, letting the natural light in. The artist has painted skilfully and confidently, using a rich, saturated colour palette to paint this expressive study, and has included areas of impasto (where the painted thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to add texture and depth. The painting is housed in its original mid century dark bronze wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. Size: 73 x 63 cm (including frame)
