A mid-century impressionist oil painting on canvas by Edward Barton. The work depicts a reclining female nude from a rear perspective, rendered with a heavy impasto technique. The artist utilizes a palette knife to build significant texture, creating a tactile surface that catches the light. The warm, sun-drenched tones of the figure's skin are set against a cool, atmospheric background of blues and greys. Barton is well-known for this luminescent style, often balancing figurative subjects with a sense of light-filled tranquility. Housed in a gilt wood frame with a wide white mat and gold fillet.
