DescriptionDescription: The half-naked woman sits in front of a mirror and hesitantly tries on a pearl necklace. The three-dimensioned figure and the meticulous painting of fabrics, were typical of the classic academic traditions of the day. Chaplin was famous for his erotic and objectifying female portraits, bought by the aristocracy and the financial elite of the time. Like many salon artists, he was influenced by the late 18th century portraits and genre painting.
