This striking original oil on canvas board by contemporary South African artist Pauline Hugo captures a beautifully rendered, intimate view of a woman from behind, highlighting her intricately patterned garment and a softly styled messy bun. Executed with expressive brushwork and a moody, atmospheric palette dominated by deep blues, teals, and warm skin tones, the piece showcases Hugo’s signature ability to blend realistic form with emotive, textured layers. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and dated '22 (2022). Measuring 61cm x 50cm, the canvas block is in excellent structural and cosmetic condition, showing clean edges and vibrant paint retention.
