Modern Impressionist Seated Nude Pastel Painting

This is a large-scale original artwork depicting a seated female nude figure, viewed from behind in a three-quarter profile. The composition utilizes a soft-focus, impressionistic style with a medium that appears to be pastel or chalk on paper or board. The color palette is dominated by muted, earthy tones including dusty pinks, violets, and ochres, contrasted against a deep forest green and magenta background. The figure's back is highly stylized, emphasizing anatomical curves through blended light and shadow. The artwork is housed in a contemporary, narrow silver-toned metal frame without a visible matting. Notable features include a prominent signature in the lower right corner, which appears to read 'Chas Von R... 86', suggesting the piece was created in 1986. The condition appears fair to good; however, there are visible scuffs and areas of pigment loss or smudging consistent with unprotected pastel, particularly along the bottom edge and upper corners. The glass or acrylic glazing shows some glare and potential dust internal to the frame. The proportions and execution suggest a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic influenced by expressive modernism.
