Seated Female Nude Pastel Study - Signed

Description
This signed pastel study depicts a seated female nude rendered with soft tonal transitions and a restrained palette of pale blue, warm rose, and muted terracotta. The figure is shown in a contemplative pose, her head resting gently against her hand while the body curves naturally across the composition. Subtle blending and delicate shading soften anatomical contours, creating an atmospheric and intimate figure study. The simplified background and diffused light emphasize the quiet mood and painterly handling typical of academic pastel figure sketches.
