Untitled (Reclining Figure with Book)
Intaglio Etching on Paper
A solitary reclining figure is portrayed with graceful, uninterrupted lines, creating a composition of quiet contemplation and balance. The open book introduces a subtle narrative, suggesting reflection, knowledge, and the intimate relationship between the inner life and the human form. Characterized by Alan Wood-Thomas's refined economy of line, the etching unites modernist abstraction with classical elegance, allowing simplicity to convey both emotional depth and timeless serenity.
