Richard R. Clive (American, 1912-1992) Pastel on Paper Nude Woman 'Sally'
Richard R. Clive (American, 1912–1992), Sally, 1970, is a beautifully rendered mid-century figurative work executed in pastel on paper, measuring approximately 18 x 24 inches, and signed by the artist in the lower right. The drawing showcases Clive’s exceptional draftsmanship and color theory, utilizing vibrant, warm flesh tones for the central female subject that contrast elegantly against a cross-hatched background of cool emerald greens and deep charcoal contours. This piece features immaculate, unbroken provenance, retaining both its original artist studio label from Yonkers, New York, and the official submission tag from its inclusion in the Salmagundi Club's Spring 1970 Auction Sale and Exhibition (Lot No. 47) in New York City. Housed under glass in its original vintage gilt wood frame, the pastel remains in excellent, visually stable condition with remarkably preserved, striking pigments. Framed measures 26.5 x 20.5 inches, artwork measures approx 24 x 18 inches. Please see all photos.
