About the Item

This iconic portrait of Brigitte Bardot, taken by legendary photographer Terry O’Neill in 1971, is a striking representation of effortless beauty, rebellion, and cinematic charisma. 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. Bardot is captured in a windswept moment, exuding a raw, untamed energy. Her long blonde hair, tousled by the wind, partially veils her face, adding a sense of mystery and movement to the composition. Her piercing gaze is intense and magnetic, emphasized by dark, smudged eyeliner that enhances her signature sultry look. She wears a black button-up shirt and loosely tied scarf, a departure from the ultra-feminine styles often associated with her. This choice of attire, combined with her confident posture and direct stare, gives her a rugged, almost Western-inspired aesthetic. A cigar is casually perched between her lips, further amplifying the rebellious attitude of the image. Unlike the typical poised and glamorous poses seen in many of her portraits, this moment captures Bardot in a more raw, masculine, and untamed persona, embodying the independent, free-spirited essence of the 1970s. The background is a clear blue sky, creating a striking contrast with her dark clothing and sun-kissed complexion. The composition is simple yet powerful, allowing Bardot’s presence to dominate the frame. This colorized version of O’Neill’s original black-and-white photograph adds a new dimension to the classic shot, enhancing the warmth of her skin and the vibrancy of the setting. This image remains one of the most celebrated photographs of Bardot, showcasing her ability to transcend traditional beauty and embody an effortlessly cool, rebellious icon. Terry O’Neill, known for capturing the essence of 20th-century legends, masterfully immortalized Bardot in this timeless, cinematic moment—a perfect blend of sensuality, strength, and freedom. Terry O’Neill is one of the world’s most collected photographers whose work is shown in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. For over six decades, he has photographed the frontline of fame, from the greats of screen and stage to presidents, prime ministers and rock stars. No other living photographer has embraced the span of fame, capturing the icons of our age from from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Amy Winehouse, from Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot to Fay Dunaway, as well as every James Bond from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan.
