About the Item

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. Provenance: Annotated on the reverse with a label reading: "Palmieri Massimiliano, 800 Seconda metà, Sorio Luigi, 'Signora allo specchio – olio su tela' 84,5 x 60, Numero Pezzi 1, 1248 000144." Condition: Excellent condition, with vibrant colors and a beautifully preserved gilded frame. Minor signs of age consistent with a late 19th-century artwork. A remarkable and alluring portrait by Luigi Sorio, ideal for collectors of Belle Époque portraiture and 19th-century Italian painting.
