She is shown mostly from behind and in profile, with her long, loose hair falling over her shoulders and back. One leg is folded beneath her while the other extends outward, creating a natural, asymmetrical posture. Her arms hang gently toward the floor, emphasizing the quiet, unposed quality of the figure. Soft, warm skin tones contrast with her darker hair, while subtle highlights along her back, shoulders, hips, and legs give the body a rounded, three-dimensional appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are thrilled to welcome Martin Leighton’s work to The Rose Gallery whose work takes a contemplative approach to figurative painting, bringing together realism, emotion and depth in elegant studies of the human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed or Mounted Signed \u0026amp; Numbered Limited Edition Artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete with Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLimited \u003c\/span\u003eEdition size 75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtwork size 55cm by 43.5cm approximately\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed size 70cm by 58.5cm approximately \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe artwork is framed in \u003cspan\u003ea 90mm wide charcoal moulding with silver sight edge\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceive 5% off first order with code ROSE05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.therosegallery.co.uk\/pages\/glossary-of-terms\" title=\"To help understand the words used on this website, read our Glossary of Terms\"\u003eGlossary of Terms\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Martin Leighton","offers":[{"title":"Block Mounted","offer_id":56403675578747,"sku":"MJL-04M","price":330.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Framed","offer_id":56403675545979,"sku":"MJL-04F","price":530.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/1842\/5203\/files\/Kneeling-Nude-Martin-leighton.jpg?v=1788450433"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/1842\/5203\/collections\/dressing_to_impress-custom.jpg?v=1788450636","url":"https:\/\/www.therosegallery.co.uk\/collections\/martin-leighton.oembed","provider":"The Rose Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
