Oil on canvas from 1956 by Jean Berthier, a French artist of the post-war modern figurative movement. This work, measuring 54 × 73 cm, is in the tradition of the School of Paris, blending figurative elements with Cubist influences through a composition constructed from planes and flat areas of color.
The female portrait, rendered with restraint and introspection, evokes French modernism of the 1950s. The balanced palette and the skillful application of paint give the work a presence that is both graphic and warm.
Oil on canvas mounted on its original wooden frame.
