Description: | A girl stands reading one of the books which sit haphazard on the table to her left. The greyish green background brings out the white of her dress and the delicate hues of her complexion. Despite being painted in the mid-nineteenth century, her clothes and the table allude to the seventeenth-century rococo style. Chaplin was one of a number of artists at the time to cater to an escapist taste for pre-revolutionary art, counter to the harsh imagery of emerging Realism. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Chaplin, Charles (French painter, 1825-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8979... | Go to resource |
