A stylized figurative print by Stephen Pearson (1924-2003). The work depicts an ethereal nude female figure in profile with long, flowing hair, rendered in a distinctive palette of teal, emerald green, and pale flesh tones. The composition is characterised by a dreamlike, soft-focus aesthetic typical of the artist’s mid-century popular surrealist style. The canvas is housed in a decorative, ornate gilt-effect and dark-toned moulded frame featuring scrolling foliate patterns. The work is signed S Pearson ‘ 73 in the lower right corner, executed in a teal pigment. The verso reveals the canvas is secured within a modern wooden frame with a masonite backing.
