A beautifully atmospheric mid-century oil painting depicting a reclining female nude, signed lower right by artist Margaret Ballardie.

The work is signed with the artist’s characteristic “MJB” monogram to the lower right.

Executed in a soft, muted palette of sage greens, ochres and warm flesh tones, the composition has a relaxed, intimate quality, with loose, painterly brushwork and a distinctly modernist sensibility.

Ballardie was a Scottish artist who exhibited widely, including at the Royal Scottish Academy and with the United Society of Artists. This piece retains its original exhibition label verso.

An elegant and decorative work, ideal for adding warmth and character to an interior.

Measurements:

Frame: H38 x W54 cm

Canvas: H29 x W44.5 cm

Condition:

Age-related wear throughout, including surface craquelure and areas of paint thinning consistent with age. Presents well overall.
