Ismail Mat Hussin’s Figure Study, 1986 is likely a foundational piece in the artist’s exploration of the human form. As a work produced early in his career, it probably showcases his initial style and techniques in representing the human figure. The painting might delve into the fundamentals of anatomy, proportion, and movement, serving as a building block for his later, more complex compositions.
