Description

Original Nude Life Study – Pastel Female Figure Drawing This original nude life study captures a larger female figure in a poised, delicate stance. Her hands rest confidently on her hips, her weight shifted naturally to one side, with her left foot gently drawn inward — creating a subtle rhythm and balance within the composition. Rendered in pastel, the artist uses soft contouring to define form while preserving warmth and humanity in the figure. The gentle tonal transitions highlight volume and movement, allowing the body to feel both grounded and graceful. The result is an expressive yet refined academic life study rooted in traditional figure drawing practice. This piece is: • An original, hand-rendered pastel drawing • Created from a live nude model (life study) • Focused on natural posture and authentic form • Warmly contoured to enhance depth and dimension • Suitable for gallery display, studio, or private collection The artwork celebrates form, presence, and quiet strength. Rather than idealizing the body, it honors realism and natural beauty — making it a compelling addition for collectors of figurative fine art. Ideal for collectors of: Nude life studies Academic figure drawings Pastel fine art Contemporary figurative artwork Body-positive fine art This is an original work of art — not a print or reproduction.
