Title: Modern French Oil Painting Woman Reading in a Chair Figurative Interior Scene by Bernadette Kelly (French b. 1933) Unsigned Medium: oil painting on board, unframed Painting size: 9.75 inches (height) x 11 inches (width) Condition: overall very good and sound Provenance: all the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from their estate in Paris, France. Description: This modern French oil painting by Bernadette Kelly captures a peaceful and intimate interior moment of a woman reclining in a chair absorbed in her book The soft impressionistic brushstrokes and muted yet expressive color palette highlight Kelly’s talent for evoking emotion and atmosphere The relaxed pose and partially open blouse add a sense of naturalism and warmth enhancing the quiet contemplation of the subject The artist's background in painting and engraving is reflected in the delicate yet confident application of color and form The contrast between the rich navy hues of the clothing and the soft flesh tones creates a harmonious balance giving the piece a timeless and elegant quality This painting is a wonderful addition to any collection of 20th century French figurative art perfect for those who appreciate intimate portraiture and expressive realism
