The composition captures the female form stretched across a cool blue cloth, set against a richly layered olive and moss green background.

Executed with confident palette knife and brushwork, the painting features heavy impasto and dynamic texture throughout. Warm earth tones—burnt sienna, ochre, umber, and cream—model the figure with depth and movement, while gestural strokes in the background create contrast and atmosphere. The abstraction softens anatomical detail, emphasizing form, light, and painterly expression rather than realism.

Signed “Barton” in red in the lower left corner. Presented in its original vintage wood frame with linen liner and subtle green and gilt accents, which beautifully complement the earthy palette of the artwork. A striking mid-century figurative piece with strong decorative presence.

Dimensions:
29.0" w x 1.0" d x 17.0" h / Inches

Overall, a well-preserved and display-ready 1970’s artwork.
