This work is emblematic of the refined and delicate style of this 19th-century painter.
Born in 1825, CHAPLIN, a pupil of Martin DROLLING, specialized in the depiction of idealized young women in soft and elegant atmospheres.
He studied under Martin DROLLING.
This portrait perfectly illustrates his talent for capturing feminine beauty and grace.
Her face is gentle, her features are delicate.
CHAPLIN’s style follows the academic tradition, but with a personal touch that sets him apart: a particular sensitivity to femininity, tenderness, and ideal beauty.
The background of the painting is neutral, as in most of his portraits, in order to keep the focus on the model.
CHAPLIN’s paintings are exhibited in several prestigious museums in France: Musée d’Orsay, Petit Palais in Paris, and the Fine Arts Museums of Lyon, Lille, Rouen, Bordeaux, Reims, Bayonne, etc., as well as abroad: the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, the museum in Buenos Aires, and others.
He is referenced in numerous art publications: *BENEZIT*, *Les Petits Maîtres de la Peinture, valeurs de demain 1820–1920 by Gérald Schurr, etc.
