20th Century School, Seated Nude Female Figure Study, Oil on Canvas - A 20th-century academic life study depicting a seated nude female figure in profile. The work is executed in a gestural, expressionistic style with broad, blocky brushstrokes defining the anatomical form and musculature. The palette is composed of earthy ochre and terracotta skin tones contrasted against a sketchily applied background of olive and sage greens. The painting is rendered in oil on a coarse-weave canvas support and remains unframed with raw, unfinished edges. A white rectangular adhesive inventory label is affixed to the centre of the painted surface, bearing the handwritten numerals 9751 in black ink. No artist signature or date is visible on the face of the work.
