Reclining Figure in Shadow

Szőnyi I.: pasztell 34 x 27 cm, papír: Női akt -1920-as évek A reclining nude figure stretches across the paper in a relaxed, sweeping pose, her head supported by one arm while the legs extend toward the right edge. Broad charcoal modeling defines the body against a dark, softly textured ground, with expressive contour lines and rubbed tonal passages giving the study a quiet, intimate presence. The cropped composition emphasizes the figure’s elongated rhythm and the tactile grain of the paper.
