A striking mid century oil painting attributed to Alfred Heywood, this tender female figure study is full of softness, subtlety, and gentle poise. Painted in oil on paper and loosely laid to canvas, it features a monogram and showcases a sensitive approach to composition and colour. The woman is seated in an interior setting, painted in a dreamy palette of blush pinks, muted mauves and watery blues, with a touch of warmth to the skin tones that brings her gently to life.

The loose, expressive brushwork adds an impressionistic quality to the piece, while the suggestion of a painting or mirror behind the sitter introduces a layered, almost domestic narrative. This is a work that feels both intimate and poised. It is modern in execution, but with a timeless emotional resonance.

The piece is housed in a decorative gilded frame with an ornate border, adding contrast and classical charm.

This artwork would suit a wide range of interiors, from classical bathrooms to bohemian bedrooms, from modernist spaces to traditional hallways layered with history. Beautiful hung above a side table, styled alongside vintage books and sculptural ceramics, or as part of a portrait wall with other figurative works.

A distinctive, emotive piece that invites the viewer to pause and ponder.
