Executed in watercolour, this two-part composition by Mary Fedden combines figurative and landscape elements, presented with the artist’s signature clarity and lyrical sensibility.
The upper register depicts a reclining female nude, simplified in form and rendered in loose, translucent washes of warm tones. The figure’s relaxed posture and soft contours reflect Fedden’s expressive but economical approach to line and tone.
Beneath, a second horizontal panel evokes a shoreline scene, where scattered pebbles, shells and organic forms are laid across a pale sandy foreground. Subtle strokes of green and ochre give way to a strip of turquoise sea, its surface gently dissolving into the paper, creating a calm and atmospheric contrast to the warmth above.
