This painting captures a moment of tranquility in which a woman with a pearl necklace lies half-lying in a bath with a glass in her hand against a background of pink, gray and black tones. In the foreground a wine cooler with bottle and cloth.
The painter Gerdine Duijsens, born in Utrecht, developed her unique lyrical expressionist style by filling more than a thousand canvases with colorful portraits of bon vivants and their unguarded moments. Although she initially left the Utrecht Artibus Academy due to her aversion to abstract art, she later discovered her true calling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arendonk, Belgium. Gerdine believes that artists should enrich the world with their talent and abhors imitating others, emphasizing the importance of authentic expression. Her trademark, the lively dining scenes, appeal to a growing audience both nationally and internationally through their ability to evoke emotions and bring out a smile.
