Lot 13:
Original Oil Pastel Depicting a Nude Lady from Behind By Sandy de Villiers, Framed Behind Glass
From a private collection we offer this original signed work by Sandy de Villiers (nee du Toit) (1947-2023).
Sandra L. du Toit was born in The Strand near Cape Town. The eldest of four children, but the only girl until she was 13, she balanced rough and tumble games with her brothers and a love of drawing and painting. She learned to love beautiful things and places very young. Spending a few years living at Rhebokskloof as a child, opened her eyes to the history and gravitas of a harsh, but beautiful world outside of her family home. This would translate later into an artist who embodied these contradictions and would, eventually, blend them to harmony, as she did with the oils on her canvases.
The work is in great condition although the frame is slightly damaged on the bottom left (please see image).
In the frame it measures: 38cm x 30cm
Measurement with frame: 30 x 38 CM
