Luigi Sorio (1835-1909) – "Lady in the Mirror"
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions (Framed): 109 x 84 cm
Dimensions (Flat): 84 x 60 cm
Signature: Lower left corner
Frame: Ornate gilded frame
Description:
This exquisite 19th-century portrait by Luigi Sorio captures the charm and elegance of a reclining young woman, gazing into a handheld mirror with a knowing smile. Dressed in a delicate, flowing blue gown adorned with pearls and sheer fabric, the sitter embodies the ideals of femininity and beauty celebrated in the Belle Époque and Romantic traditions.
Sorio’s masterful technique is evident in the soft rendering of textures, from the shimmering silk of the dress to the woman’s lustrous dark hair, which cascades over her shoulder. The artist skillfully employs subtle gradations of light and shadow, enhancing the sitter’s radiant complexion and the gentle intimacy of the scene. Her jewelry, delicate rings, and intricate gold embroidery further highlight the painting’s refined execution.
This piece is a quintessential example of the sensuous, emotionally expressive portraiture popular in 19th-century Italian and European art, reminiscent of artists like Vittorio Matteo Corcos and Franz Xaver Winterhalter. The lush, romantic atmosphere and captivating gaze of the subject make this a standout addition to any fine art collection.
