Draft:Striding Nude, Blue Dress

Background
Euan Uglow (1932–2000) was a British painter best known for his paintings of nude women and still lifes. He painted only from life, often taking several years to complete his artworks.

His nude models typically posed in unnatural and often uncomfortable positions. Uglow would use markings in his studio, including chalk lines and plumb lines, to maintain consistency across painting sessions. His pictures, like those of his tutor William Coldstream, often contained measurement marks.

Painting
As of 2007, the unfinished version was owned by the Uglow estate, and
