About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of a Seated Woman in a Vibrant Interior by Bernadette Kelly (French b. 1933) Signed Medium: oil painting on board, unframed Painting size: 6.25 inches (height) x 6.25 inches (width) Condition: overall good and sound Provenance: all the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from their estate in Paris, France. Description: This striking oil painting by French artist Bernadette Kelly captures a woman reclining in a richly decorated interior, enveloped by bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. Dressed in a dark ensemble, she leans back against a vibrant patterned cushion, her flowing blonde hair illuminated by the soft play of light across her face. The impressionistic rendering of the background, with deep greens, yellows, and blues, creates a dynamic contrast between the sitter and her surroundings. Kelly’s masterful use of color and movement imbues the composition with a sense of warmth and personality, evoking influences from post-impressionist portraiture. The loose, gestural brushwork enhances the intimate yet relaxed atmosphere of the piece, while the subject’s gaze invites the viewer into a moment of quiet reflection. This beautifully expressive oil painting would make a stunning addition to any collection of European portraiture, particularly for those who appreciate the emotional depth and rich textures of impressionistic interior scenes.
