Tatsuo Takayama “Rafu (Nude -Drawing)” 40.8×55.1cm (Size 10) 4.8kg Framed

Tatsuo Takayama ”Nude -Drawing ”

A woman, her head gently lowered, is depicted in charcoal with an economy of line that conveys the softness of feminine beauty without excess. The shading that flows from the shoulders to the abdomen is rendered without exaggeration, creating a lightness of style distinct from Western approaches to the nude study.

From the knee to the shin of the left leg, the faint transparency of the overlapping right leg reveals Takayama’s precise grasp of the figure’s underlying structure—fulfilling the true role of a drawing as a study of form. Surrounding the figure, touches of white pigment, charcoal, and the faintest trace of blue create an atmospheric halo that lifts the subject from the page. Thus, the work transcends the category of a mere sketch, standing instead as a finished piece in its own right.

The work will be authenticated by the Toobi Certification for Fine Arts after purchase, and the certificate will be delivered together with the artwork at a later date.
