Title: Seated Back View Nude Female Figure Drawing Expressive Gestural Pencil Study
By Minty Ramsey
Signed verso
Size: 11.75 x 16.5 inches (height x width)
Medium: Pencil drawing on paper, unframed
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 female model seated on a simple stool, shown from behind in a quietly elegant back-view pose. With the torso subtly twisting and the head turned to one side, the figure reveals a gentle asymmetry through the spine and shoulders that is characteristic of live life-drawing sessions. Ramsey’s instinctive, gestural mark-making brings a sense of immediacy to the scene, emphasising the natural curves and anatomical rhythms of the female form.
Working in pencil on textured artist paper, Ramsey uses quick, energetic lines to establish the overall structure while introducing soft shading along the back, hip, and legs. This combination of loose contours and tonal passages enhances the sense of depth without over-defining the figure. The lightly sketched stool grounds the model in space while allowing the viewer’s attention to rest primarily on the pose and the expressive quality of the drawing.
Back-view female nude studies have been celebrated throughout art history, prized for their sculptural qualities and the opportunity they provide to explore form, silhouette, and posture. Ramsey’s contemporary interpretation aligns with this tradition while maintaining a modern spontaneity rooted in observational practice. The drawing conveys an intimate moment of stillness, capturing both the presence of the sitter and the rapid decision-making inherent in gestural study.
Ideal for collectors of female nude drawings, back-view figure art, and expressive contemporary studies, this work offers a compelling insight into Ramsey’s figurative practice. Unframed and ready for bespoke mounting, it adds sophistication and subtlety to any figurative art collection.
