The Jewellery Box
by COOMANS, Pierre Olivier Joseph, Oil on canvas, 82 x 67 cm
Coomans worked with models both in studios and in exterior settings, capturing in exquisite fashion all the mystical beauty they had to offer. His portraits were greatly prized by European collectors.
In the present portrait a young lady is selecting a necklace from her jewellery box and she is looking at a mirror to reflect her image with the jewellery, for her presentation at a social occasion.
