The Coquette, c. 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a mesmerizing oil painting that captures the essence of feminine allure and vanity in the late 19th century. Painted by James Wells Champney, this exquisite piece measures 44.8x54.6 cm and is now held in a private collection. In this scene, we see a beautiful young woman gazing into her reflection in a mirror while raindrops gently cascade down outside her window. Dressed elegantly in an evening gown, she exudes confidence and charm as she adorns herself with an earring. The artist skillfully portrays the coquettish nature of his subject through her flirtatious expression and posture. The mirror acts as both a tool for self-admiration and an object of introspection, symbolizing the duality of beauty and self-reflection. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "The Coquette" also offers subtle commentary on meteorology and climate science during that era when weather forecasting was still evolving. The raining backdrop adds depth to the composition while hinting at the unpredictable nature of life itself. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Champney's artistic prowess but also provides insight into societal norms surrounding femininity and beauty at that time. It serves as a timeless reminder of our fascination with personal appearance throughout history.
