One-of-a-kind portrait by renowned artist Peter Engels, celebrated for his portraits of Nelson Mandela (shown in Times Square on Mandela's birthday), Brigitte Bardot (with her approval), and Karl Lagerfeld (who called Peter Engels the 'painter of his soul'). Prince Albert of Monaco bought the portrait of his mother Princess Grace Kelly. Richard Branson modelled live for his portrait painting.
Inspired by Bardot’s 1970s visit to Mauritius, the artist reimagined her in a quiet, intimate moment: guitar in hand, wind in her hair, sunlight on her bare shoulder. A small “Mauritius” sticker on the guitar anchors the portrait to the island.
Painted with Engels’ signature palette knife technique, the canvas radiates texture and atmosphere. The restrained sepia palette highlights Bardot’s posture, bohemian dress, and iconic playful smile, while the sculptural strokes suggest breeze, music, and intimacy.
From his Mauritius house overlooking La Pouce mountain, Peter Engels channelled solitude and inspiration into this portrait. This painting is a vision born not from reference photos but from imagination, movement, and emotion.
This is a unique signed original that combines global iconography, masterful execution, and personal narrative. This painting is a true collector’s piece by one of today’s most respected portrait artists.
