Molly J. Schiff (1927–2018), Standing Female Nude (Figure Study), mid 20th century

Watercolor and ink figure study on paper depicting a standing female nude against a warm, abstract ground. The figure is outlined with fluid red line and modeled with translucent washes of yellow, orange, and ochre, creating a luminous, expressive effect. The simplified facial features and elongated form emphasize gesture and mood rather than strict anatomical realism, consistent with Molly J. Schiff’s modern figurative style and her focus on the expressive potential of the human body.Dimensions: 26 x 40 in.
