Female Nude 7

Female Nude 7 by R.C. Gorman is a seated figure study on tan paper rendered in soft pencil, the female shown in profile with head tilted back in a pose suggesting both vulnerability and introspection. Dark hair drawn up in an elaborate updo adds visual interest and classical refinement to the composition. Gorman’s subtle graphite technique creates volumetric form through careful tonal gradation while maintaining linear elegance. The warm neutral palette and intimate scale create a gallery-quality work of psychological depth. A fine acquisition for collectors of classical figure studies with modernist sensitivity.
