A dynamic and fragmented composition, this oil on paper work by David Bomberg showcases his bold, gestural approach to form, with thick, expressive brushstrokes breaking the figure into angular, interlocking planes. The earthy, muted tones suggest the dim, enclosed atmosphere of a stable interior, while the vigorous handling of paint conveys a raw sense of energy and movement. Characteristic of Bomberg's later style, the work balances abstraction with a deeply felt engagement with the physical presence of its subject.
