From Beaux Arts Magazine: “From behind, a coquette sits in front of her mirror. Placed on her dressing table, her comb, her jewelry and her perfume compose a miniature still life reminiscent of the objects abandoned by Caravaggio's Penitent Magdalene (1595). If Régnier makes this elegant Venetian aristocrat an allegory of vanity, the moralizing message is quickly swept away by the pleasant nature of the painting: from the gold embroidery to the colorful reflections of the silks, through her white skin and her baby face, the painter takes pleasure in finely detailing her physique and her sumptuous attire.” https://www.beauxarts.com/expos/nicolas-regnier-lespiegle-caravagesque/
