Title: Seated Nude Female Figure Holding Wine Glass Expressive Gestural Pencil Drawing
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 study by British contemporary artist Minty Ramsey depicts a seated nude female figure holding a wine glass, positioned across two simple stools. Shown in profile with her torso gently twisting and the arm extended, the figure embodies a sense of relaxed elegance and subtle theatricality. Ramsey’s gestural line work brings a dynamic energy to the pose, capturing both the structural rhythms of the body and the spontaneity of a moment observed from life.
The drawing is rendered in pencil on textured artist paper, allowing the graphite to sit softly on the surface while still holding the immediacy of quick, confident strokes. The legs and torso are defined through layered linear marks, while the suggestion of the stools beneath her introduces a grounded spatial context. The inclusion of the wine glass adds a narrative element uncommon in traditional figure drawing, offering viewers a more intimate glimpse into the moment — poised somewhere between casual rest and quiet contemplation.
Throughout art history, seated female nude studies have been prized for their balance of form, gesture, and natural poise. Ramsey’s interpretation honours this classical tradition while infusing it with a contemporary looseness and emotional immediacy. The partially abstracted background and lightly indicated face keep the viewer’s attention focused on movement, balance, and body language rather than portrait likeness.
Ideal for collectors of female nude drawings, gesture studies, expressive pencil art, and contemporary figurative drawing, this work stands out for its combination of spontaneity and narrative charm. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it makes a sophisticated addition to any interior.
