Richard Edward Miller - Portrait of a Seated Woman Before a Mirror [c.1925]
This subject, a decoratively dressed comely woman in a sunroom, was one of Miller's most popular. He introduced the subject while working in France, where he studied and lived from 1899 to 1914. In his early years Miller painted pictures of old women or young serving maids in dark interiors. By 1908 he was painting fashionable women, often reflected in mirrors, in elegant interiors. In the 1910s Miller heightened the light and color of his palette and began placing his alluring female models, colourfully clad and decorously posed, in boudoirs and sunrooms.
