About the Item

A contemporary oil on linen board portrait of Cora, part of a series of portraits: 'Portrait in Landscape' by the Dutch artist Bernadette 'Berna' Van Baarsen. The painting is signed bottom left, titled to the backboard and is presented in a modern gilt frame. This is one from Berna's latest collection of paintings consisting of 12 portraits. In them, every personage finds an echo from the surrounding nature, either through a dialogue of colours, or by referencing or contrasting shapes. Van Baarsen was inspired whilst attending a birthday party in Provence, South of France, to create this series of portraits of her fellow guests. It was a very sunny day and everybody took it in turns to wear a large stylish sun hat and that proved the catalyst for this portrait and the collection, capturing the character of the sitter but also the joy and conviviality of the moment. The perfect portrait. Van Baarsen can also be commissioned to create portraits of loved ones, family, friends or colleagues. Contact us at La Galerie for details. . Bernadette (‘Berna’, as she autographs her works) VAN BAARSEN was born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After finishing her high-school she followed trainings for nurse and architect, whilst at the same time being a lead singer in two Dutch punk bands and making sculptures in plexiglass. Later in life she decided to pursue an academic career and obtained a PhD in psychology and medical ethics. She worked as associate professor at the Free University of Amsterdam and was member of several high-level medical-ethical committees. In 2015 she settled in France. Being essentially autodidact, she took up painting, in particular after being inspired by the Provençal landscape and friendships with fellow artists. In recent years she has shown her work at successful exhibitions in Provence.

Expressionist Female Nude Portrait, 'The Green Curtain' Oil on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Expressionist female nude portrait by noted Scottish artist Douglas Thomson. The painting is signed bottom left and signed and titled to the back of the canvas. There is an original exhibition title and price label to the frame. Presented in original plain wood frame. A colourful and striking portrait of a female nude. Her rich red hair falling over her shoulders, her pose calm as she stares out from the canvas in a wistful way, her mouth set. Thomson has created flesh tones, wonderful contrast of colours between the sitter and the background curtain and wall and a texture to the canvas to create added interest. A really interesting and engaging portrait. Douglas Thomson was born in Greenock in 1955 and after studying at the Glasgow School of Art 1974...
