A 1999 Marie Harris Oil on Canvas Male Nude Study - A large-scale expressive oil on canvas study of a seated male nude, signed and dated by the artist Marie Harris. The work is executed on a single stretched canvas and portrays a mature subject in a contemplative, hunched pose. The figure is shown partially nude with one foot resting upon a small wooden stool, set against a dark background broken by geometric green planes. The composition is rendered with vigorous, gestural brushwork using a non-naturalistic color palette of vibrant reds, greens, and yellows. The artist signature and date are located in the lower right corner, painted in red and reading 'Marie Harris Feb '99'. No other maker marks or gallery labels are visible. 85cm wide 120cm tall
