This portrait by Émile Bernard depicts a seated woman in a loose-fitting garment, rendered in simplified forms and bold colours typical of Post-Impressionism.
Émile Bernard (1868-1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter, known for his association with artists like Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. He was a figure in the development of Cloisonnism and Synthetism, styles that moved away from Impressionistic naturalism toward simplified forms and symbolic content. Bernard's work often explored themes of religion, symbolism, and portraiture, reflecting his interest in spirituality and the human condition. He travelled extensively, including to Egypt, which influenced his artistic style and subject matter. 'African Woman' depicts a seated woman in a loose-fitting, light purple garment. She rests on a horizontally striped orange and black surface. Her expression is contemplative, with her head resting on her hand. The background is a muted teal colour. The painting's style is characterised by simplified forms and bold colours, typical of Bernard's Post-Impressionist approach. The composition is relatively simple, focusing on the figure and her immediate surroundings.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Émile Bernard
inventing cloisonnism at twenty, sharing it with Gauguin, watching Gauguin take the credit, and spending decades arguing about who invented Symbolism
