About this artwork
A graceful portrait of French writer Zoe Besmond de Benneville by artist John Kelly. Graced by a cooling light, John captures the writer in a quiet moment by the window of her studio in the Canal Saint Martin area in Paris, France. Light illuminates the scene, highlighting the soft edges of her hair. Thick wavy locks conceal her face while a delicate lace dress reveals a latticework of skin, reflecting a mood of secrecy and revelation.
