About the Item

Portrait of the famous Brigitte Bardot on the set of VIVA MARIA, peeking out between blue Curtains, photographed by the legendary Douglas Kirkland. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This striking photograph of Brigitte Bardot, taken by Douglas Kirkland on the set of Viva Maria! (1965), is a perfect example of sensuality and cinematic glamour. Bardot stands barefoot in a room surrounded by deep blue curtains, with one draped over her body in an effortlessly seductive yet playful manner. The fabric cascades around her, revealing a glimpse of her bare leg through a high slit, adding movement and drama to the composition. She clutches part of the curtain to her chest, emphasizing an intimate and spontaneous moment, as if she has just emerged from behind the drapery. Her expression is radiant—her signature smile and expressive eyes exude both confidence and flirtation. Her tousled blonde hair frames her face in soft waves, capturing the effortless beauty that made her an icon of the 1960s. The deep blue tones of the curtains create a striking contrast against her fair complexion, making her the undeniable focal point of the image. Kirkland, known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, perfectly conveys Bardot’s magnetic charm in this composition. The interplay of light and shadow, the luxurious textures, and Bardot’s natural presence all combine to create an image that feels intimate, glamorous, and timeless. Ever since the young Kirkland eternalized Marilyn Monroe, white sheets, and nothing else, the star photographer has been catapulted into stardom. Dubbed ‘Hollywood’s favorite photographer,’ the late Kirkland has shot over 100 movie sets, from ‘Titanic’ to ‘The Sound of Music.’ While his photographs of icons, from Brigitte Bardot to Andy Warhol and Angelina Jolie, are of the same soft and intimate energy as his early Marilyn shoot, these testaments to the world of motion pictures border on the magical. Tender or larger than life – Kirkland had mastered every tonality.
