Original artwork description:

The classic Christine Keeler seated pose, but from the behind. The model sits with legs each side of the chair back and leans on the top of the chair. A muscular shoulder - perhaps a rower or swimmer - to a nipped in waist.

Colour applied as the model was feeling the strains of the pose in the left shoulder and down the back. Tension across her upper body. Drawn in conte pastel on packing paper which is red on the reverse and blue on the front giving a mottled tone. The paper has a line which can be seen.

Mounting/Mat Suggestion: An image is included of how the piece could look if put behind mountboard(s) [in the US known as mats] before framing by you. It will be delivered in a tube.

NB the colour of the picture may be slightly different on your monitor/phone depending on settings. 1805
