Leaning to the left, the topless model with brunette hair wears a high-waisted charcoal skirt as she crosses one foot in front of the other in a playful, relaxed pose. A classic theme found throughout Eve Nethercott's work, this portrait is seen through the female gaze unlike most images of nude women throughout the Western discipline of fine art. Standing Nude (P6.51) Eve Nethercott American (1925–2015) Date: 1948 Watercolor on Paper Size: 22 x 15 in. (55.88 x 38.1 cm)
