William Orpen's 1917 portrait, "The Refugee (Yvonne Aubicq)", depicts a young woman with a melancholic gaze, rendered in soft colours and loose brushwork, reflecting the emotional impact of the First World War.
Painted in 1917, William Orpen's portrait, "The Refugee (Yvonne Aubicq)", captures a young woman with a direct, yet melancholic gaze. Orpen, an Irish artist known for his portraits and war paintings, presents Aubicq with loose brushwork and a soft colour palette. The sitter's golden hair is rendered with a flurry of strokes, contrasting with the pale tones of her skin and the muted blues and pinks of the background. The title suggests Aubicq's displacement during the First World War, a theme that resonates with Orpen's own experiences as a war artist. The painting is not a formal portrait, but rather an intimate study, perhaps reflecting the emotional toll of the conflict. The sitter's pose, with her arms crossed, adds to the sense of vulnerability and introspection. The work is a sensitive portrayal of a woman affected by the turmoil of war, rendered with a delicate touch.

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.
