ALFRED STEVENS. In the studio

In the Studio. Artist: Alfred Stevens (Belgian, Brussels 1823-1906 Paris). Dimensions: 42 x 53 1/2 in. (106.7 x 135.9 cm). Date: 1888. By the time Stevens exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1892, his status as the consummate painter of chic, Parisian femininity was well-established. The winsome trio of model, artist, and a visitor are posed in what may be Stevens's own studio, which was known for its stylish arrangement of luxurious collectibles; on the easel is his version of <i>Salomé</i>, based on Regnault's famous painting of 1870 (now hanging in gallery 804). The open portfolio, pictures-within-a-picture, and mirror (reflecting a mundane coal stove) present an elaborate play on the relationship between art and reality.
