Tamara Łempicka - Portrait of Mrs Bush

The giclée "Portrait of Mrs. Bush", released in a limited edition of 100 copies, includes a certificate of authenticity embossed with the dry seal of Tamara de Lempicka Estate LLC and bears the signature of Marisa de Lempicka.

This is not an ordinary wedding portrait. Portrait of Mrs. Bush is a celebration of feminine beauty in its purest, most cinematic form. Joan Jeffery — the young fiancée of Oxford student Rufus T. Bush — was portrayed by Tamara Łempicka with striking cinematic drama.

Their encounter with the artist could be straight out of a romance film: the couple visits Łempicka’s exhibition in Paris and immediately decides to commission a portrait. Tamara relocates to New York to create a work that would become their wedding gift.

The red drapery — designed by the famous Hattie Carnegie — pulses with life. Joan’s face is lit with soft light; her hands and knees seem to move subtly with the rhythm of the viewer’s gaze. In the background — the artist’s signature mirrored skyscrapers — echoing the great city and dreams just beginning to unfold.

This painting is more than masterful technique. It is style, elegance, and the power of feminine presence — captured in a frame by an icon of modernism.

The giclée was produced in a limited edition of 100 copies. Each print is individually numbered. Its authenticity is confirmed by a certificate embossed with the dry seal of Tamara de Lempicka Estate LLC and signed by Marisa de Lempicka.
