Title: Reclining Nude Male Figure Sketch in Pencil on Paper
By Minty Ramsey
Signed bottom right
Size: 8.5 x 11.75 inches (height x width)
Medium: Pencil drawing on paper
Condition: Good overall condition with light handling marks and faint edge wear consistent with studio sketches.
Description:
This expressive pencil figure study by British contemporary artist Minty Ramsey captures a nude male model reclining on the floor, rendered with dynamic, instinctive lines that emphasise both physical weight and emotional presence. Ramsey’s approach to life drawing centres on observing how the body rests, shifts, and settles into gravity, and this reclining pose allows her to explore angles, tension, and the natural fall of the figure with immediacy and sensitivity.
Using pencil on textured artist paper, Ramsey builds the composition through layered graphite marks—some sharp and angular, others soft and tonal. The reclining position introduces subtle foreshortening and a grounded stability, giving the sketch a sense of intimacy often associated with classical figure studies. The model’s limbs and torso are mapped out through energetic strokes, while delicate shading around the face introduces a quiet introspection. This balance between structural confidence and gestural looseness is characteristic of Ramsey’s practice, which draws on traditional life-drawing techniques while maintaining a contemporary spontaneity.
Reclining figure studies have played an important role throughout art history, from academic atelier training to the modernist focus on expressive anatomy. This drawing continues that lineage while offering a distinctly modern interpretation of the male form.
Perfect for collectors of male nude drawings, life-drawing studies, reclining figure sketches, and contemporary British figurative art, this piece provides a compelling look into the artist’s process. Unframed and ready for personalised presentation, it would sit beautifully within a curated wall of figurative work or as a standalone study celebrating the beauty of the human form.
