Oil on thick textured, cream wove paper, circa 1958. 610x499 mm; 24x18 inches.

This scarce figure study in oil is only the second nude by this important abstract painter to come to auction. Alma Thomas's still life and figurative paintings were becoming more and more abstract--by 1959, her paintings were primarily abstract compositions.
