Allegorie: een zich kappende dame bij de spiegel 1788 - 1841

Sigmund Ferdinand Ritter von Perger's "Allegorie: een zich kappende dame bij de spiegel" (1788-1841) is a small-scale artwork (90 x 68 mm) that depicts a woman in a simple dress and a flower in her hair, seated before a mirror. She appears to be adjusting her hair, a common theme in Neoclassical art that often symbolized vanity or self-reflection. The artwork's delicate lines and muted tones create an intimate and serene atmosphere, typical of Perger's style. This piece is a good example of Perger's work as a painter and draughtsman, showing his skill in representing the human form and depicting everyday scenes with a touch of elegance.
