Nude

A seated figure is rendered in warm, naturalistic tones against a muted ground, the body’s volume and form articulated through careful modulation of light and shadow. The composition is intimate and contemplative, with the figure’s posture suggesting introspection. Du Toit’s characteristic use of rich earthly pigments and his mastery of chiaroscuro—techniques refined through intensive study of Old Masters—animate the form with a palpable sense of presence and life.
