About the Item

Title: Modern French Oil Painting Group of Women in an Interior Setting by Bernadette Kelly (French b. 1933) Unsigned Medium: oil painting on board, unframed Painting size: 7.75 inches (height) x 9.75 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 modern French oil painting by Bernadette Kelly captures a quiet moment in a domestic interior where a group of women are engaged in various activities The composition is rich in layered color and expressive brushwork depicting figures seated in different postures absorbed in their own worlds The central figure in a red sweater is hunched over focused intently on her hands while another woman reclines in a chair dressed in a red top and shorts seemingly lost in thought or reading A woman at the far right sits at a table gesturing with her hands adding a sense of movement to the otherwise contemplative scene while a fourth figure in shadow to the left introduces depth and contrast to the composition The cool blues and muted greens of the background balance the warmth of the red clothing creating a harmonious color palette that enhances the intimate atmosphere of the piece Kelly’s fluid and gestural approach to painting lends a dreamlike quality to the scene capturing not just a moment in time but an emotional stillness A beautiful addition to any collection of figurative modernist or French postwar paintings this work embodies the quiet poetry of everyday life with an impressionistic touch
