QUIET REPOSE
Size: 29 x 60.5 cm (including frame)
Oil on board
A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist figurative composition that presents a reclining nude figure resting upon a rich dark-toned fabric, painted in oil onto board and dated 1954.
The composition embraces a raw, expressive approach, with the subject’s form rendered in muted tones of peach and sand, contrasting against the deep charcoal-grey and blue backdrop.
The brushstrokes are gestural yet controlled, with visible layering that gives the painting a raw, evocative quality. The background is treated with an abstract approach, allowing texture and movement to emerge through deliberate, almost impressionistic strokes. The subdued yet contrasting palette—featuring deep red and navy tones beneath the figure—creates a sense of depth and warmth.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.
