This is his reinterpretation of a greatest old master painting "Ladies of the First Empire 1875"by Giovanni Boldini.
Neapolitan hand carved and gold leaf gilded wooden frame cm.98X78.
Ladies of the First Empire belongs to a series of small scale, intricately detailed paintings completed soon after
Boldini's visit to Versailles in May of 1875 .
Enamored by the extravagant palace with its overwhelming architecture
and rococo decoration, Boldini rented a house nearby, eager to work "from reality" on a series of eighteenthcentury subjects. The expansive, manicured grounds and Versailles' seemingly endless number of fantastically
appointed chambers provided infinite settings for the artist's courtly costume dramas played out by a large cast
of noble figures, or in more intimate scenes such as the present work. Here two beautiful, elegantly-dressed young women appear to be
casually passing the afternoon, one writing letters at a guéridon, her rejected notes lying conspicuously on the
floor beside her and the other slouched against a vibrant red satin pillow in a gilt and white painted armchair,
studying her needlework. less
