Phoebe Peto Willetts - Mid 20th Century Oil Female Nude on a Stool

A striking life study by Phoebe Peto Willetts (1917–1978), depicting a seated female nude rendered in a muted palette of flesh tones against a cool grey and taupe interior. The figure is positioned in profile on a simple wooden stool, with verticals and horizontals creating a subtle interplay between representational and modernist compositional approaches. The artist's studio stamp can be found verso. On canvas on stretchers.
