One of a kind. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
A striking Portrait of a Lady by Robert Godelier, signed lower right and dated 7–1954, this evocative work captures an unknown sitter in a quiet, pensive moment. She is dressed in a rich green jacket over a pale green blouse, set against a harmonious green background that gives the portrait a wonderfully atmospheric quality. Godelier uses a subtle palette of greens, blues, and softer pale tones to model the sitter’s face, bringing sensitivity and depth to her expression. The composition feels both intimate and modern, with a calm elegance that draws the viewer in.
54 x 45.5 cm (21.2 x 18 ins)
Robert Godelier was a 20th-century French painter closely associated with Douai and the surrounding region, known for his modernist style and his ability to capture both regional landscapes and intimate human subjects. This portrait is a beautiful example of that sensitivity, combining a refined use of colour with a contemplative presence. This distinctive painting both in colour and technique is a compelling and sophisticated mid-century French Art piece.
