Description:
This expressive oil painting by French artist Bernadette Kelly depicts a reclining female nude, rendered in rich, textured brushstrokes that emphasize form, movement, and emotion. The figure is bathed in soft, warm hues of peach and ochre, contrasting beautifully against the cool blue and deep green tones of the background.
Kelly’s impressionistic style captures the intimate stillness of the moment, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow across the subject’s skin. The loose, gestural brushwork lends a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, while the positioning of the figure evokes a classical yet modern approach to the nude form.
This painting would make a striking addition to any collection celebrating 20th-century European figurative art, particularly for those who appreciate the expressive power of color and texture in nude portraiture.
