An enticing oil on canvas painted by French artist Charles Chaplin (1825-1891); the subject is an erotically posed young woman draped with a sheer fabric in a darkly shaded background setting. This painting is typical of Charles Chaplin's later work, after he rejected his earlier style of realism which had been restored by the fashion of the Second Republic in France. This latter movement gave way to a more supple and gracious style that ensured his fame as a portrait painter. His portraits of women (often half length, with scantily clad models posed erotically in slightly misty settings) appealed to the society of the Third Republic. It is this style for which he is most famous. Chaplin received repeated distinctions and honors throughout his career. His accolades include a third place award in 1851 and second place in the Salon Exhibitions of 1852 and 1865. He was admitted into the Legion of Honor in 1865 and was elected an officer of the Academy in 1877. His paintings are found in major museums and collections throughout the world including but not limited to: Bayeaus & Bonnat, Bordeaux & Reims, Luxembourg, Paris, Bayonee & Bremen, Germany; Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. Prices recently realized for his paintings at major auction houses have been between $5,000 - $26,000. The painting is in very good condition, having been recently cleaned, and is mounted in the original gold and water gilded carved frame; size of frame 40" H x 31" W, size of visible art, approximately, 35" H x 26" W.
