TITLE: ROSIE, ARTIST CRAIG TAYLOR, FIGURATIVE PASTEL STUDY - RECLINING NUDE FORM BY CRAIG TATTON

A STRIKING CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE STUDY RENDERED IN SOFT PASTEL AND CHARCOAL, DEPICTING A RECLINING NUDE FORM CAPTURED IN PROFILE. THE WORK DEMONSTRATES SOPHISTICATED HANDLING OF LIGHT AND SHADOW, WITH DELICATE BLENDING OF WARM FLESH TONES AGAINST A NEUTRAL GROUND. THE ARTIST HAS EMPLOYED LAYERED PASTEL APPLICATION TO CREATE DIMENSIONAL MODELLING OF THE HUMAN FORM, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO ANATOMICAL ACCURACY AND SUBTLE TONAL TRANSITIONS.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
- MEDIUM: PASTEL AND CHARCOAL ON PAPER
- ARTIST: CRAIG TATTON (SIGNED TO LOWER MARGIN)
- DIMENSIONS: APPROXIMATELY 42 CM HEIGHT × 30 CM WIDTH
- MOUNTING: ADHERED TO BACKING BOARD WITH PRINTED MARGIN

CONDITION: THE WORK IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH MINOR AGE-RELATED WEAR TO THE EDGES CONSISTENT WITH STORAGE AND HANDLING. THE PASTEL SURFACE REMAINS STABLE WITH NO LIFTING OR FLAKING OBSERVED. THE ARTIST'S SIGNATURE IN PENCIL IS CLEARLY LEGIBLE, CONFIRMING ATTRIBUTION.

PRESENTATION: THIS STUDY EXEMPLIFIES CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE DRAWING PRACTICE, COMBINING CLASSICAL SUBJECT MATTER WITH MODERN PASTEL TECHNIQUE. THE RESTRAINED COLOUR PALETTE AND EMPHASIS ON FORM RATHER THAN DECORATION SUGGESTS THIS MAY BE A PREPARATORY STUDY OR STANDALONE ACADEMIC EXERCISE IN FIGURE DRAWING.
