Contemporary Acrylic Portrait After Vuillard by Caroline Beauzon - 19¾" x 16¼"

A petite acrylic portrait by Caroline Beauzon, painted after a self‑portrait by Vuillard, presented under glass in a carved Montparnasse style frame. The sitter emerges in planes of blush, ochre, and charcoal with a striped jacket that sharpens the profile, the artist’s initials discreetly placed at the lower left. The frame is wood with gesso detail and a softly muted finish that suits the bold palette and intimate scale. This contemporary work nods to the spirited Paris circles of the early twentieth century, when expressive color and simplified form were embraced, and when artist‑made frames lent depth and texture to modern portraits. Painting and glazing are in very good condition, the frame shows timeworn surface wear and small nicks consistent with age. Based in Provence, Caroline Beauzon is a contemporary artist celebrated for transforming familiar forms into bold, almost symbolic images. She favors simplified shapes, confident line, and a focused palette to create works that feel both graphic and expressive.

Perfect for a curated gallery wall, this compact piece brings a graphic accent and a thoughtful mood to a study, entry, or reading corner. Lean it on a mantel among stacked books and a small lamp, pair it with a gilt mirror for layered warmth, or place it on a console with ceramics to emphasize its sculptural brushwork. The combination of lively color and seasoned frame adds character without overpowering a room, inviting conversation while harmonizing with both contemporary and traditional furnishings.
