Belle Epoque portraitist Charles Joshua Chaplin was greatly influenced by the French Realists as well as Francois Boucher, and the English artists Gainsborough and Reynolds. Chaplin specialized in likenesses of young women in scenes from ordinary life. Here we see a graceful rendering of a young chambermaid done with light brushstrokes and a sympathetic palette. This Mixed-Media tableau of "The Letter" is perfect for luxury estates in Preston Hollow, Dallas.
