Subject

A standing female nude seen frontally, hair falling dark to the shoulders, against a ground of scrubbed red, orange and yellow.

Composition

A narrow upright page, the figure running almost its full height and cropped at the knee. She stands dead centre with the colour driven in around her on both sides, so the ground is a field rather than a room.

Palette

Scarlet, vermilion, magenta and cadmium yellow through the ground, unmixed and laid directly against one another. The figure is left as bare paper with a lilac-grey cast; the hair and the drawing are a dense black.

Handling

The lights are reserved paper, not paint — the ground is scrubbed in hard around the body and the figure appears wherever the colour stops. The drawing goes over it afterwards in a fast black line, and long runs of colour have been allowed to drip down the sheet and left.

Medium and support

Marker on sketchbook paper. Flat and unmodulated, with no granulation and no brush texture anywhere.

Signature

No signature visible within the drawn area.
