Seated Figure

About the Item

Pencil on paper, initialled (lower right), 23cm x 17cm, (38cm x 32cm framed). (Provenance: from the collection of the artist Michael Leonard (British 1933-2023). The picture is framed behind non-reflective UV glass. Keith Vaughan was a British painter. His work is held in the collections of the Government Art Collection, National Galleries Scotland, National Portrait Gallery, Tate and Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK. In the 1940s, with his friend John Minton, he was one of the leading exponents of Neo-Romanticism, characteristic works of this time being coloured drawings of moonlit houses. His later work, in which he concentrated on his favourite theme of the male nude in a landscape setting, became grander and more simplified, moving towards abstraction.
