Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of an Arched Interior with Figures
by Bernadette Kelly (French b. 1933)
Unsigned
Medium: oil painting on board, unframed
Painting size: 4.5 inches (height) x 6.25 inches (width)

Provenance: all the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from their estate in Paris, France.
Description:
This evocative oil painting by French artist Bernadette Kelly captures the quiet intimacy of an arched interior bathed in warm, earthy tones. The softly textured walls, rendered in hues of terracotta, ochre, and muted blues, frame a single arched window that casts a delicate glow into the space. Two darkly silhouetted figures sit in the foreground, their presence adding a sense of mystery and narrative to the composition.
Kelly’s expressive brushwork and rich color palette give the painting an atmospheric quality, reminiscent of ancient cloisters or historic chapels. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the sense of depth and structure, while the figures, seemingly engaged in conversation or contemplation, contribute to the overall feeling of stillness and reflection.
This beautifully composed oil painting would make a stunning addition to any collection focused on European interior scenes, architectural studies, or impressionistic depictions of light and space. Perfect for collectors who appreciate the fusion of atmosphere and storytelling in fine art.
