Product description
Before she became the global symbol of French cinema, a twenty-year-old Brigitte Bardot was captured in moments of quiet, natural grace. This 1954 photograph features the young actress leaning against a weathered iron well pulley, her expression soft and genuinely radiant amidst the textured foliage of a garden.
About Brigitte Bardot
Brigitte Bardot became an icon of 1950s and 1960s French cinema and style. Vintage photographs carry the grain, tone and atmosphere of their time. The original dates from 1954. Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have.
Styling this Brigitte Bardot photograph
The black-and-white colour scheme gives this Brigitte Bardot photograph a clear, confident presence. Hang “Smiling in a Garden” above a sofa, sideboard or bed: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. Because “Smiling in a Garden” is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look. Build a gallery wall around “Smiling in a Garden”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its black-and-white and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
