‘Nude in Mirror’ - Oil Painting by Philippe De Rougemont (1891–1965), Sweden 1930s-40s

Captivating 1930s–40s oil by Philippe de Rougemont, French‑born Swedish artist known for expressive nudes

Why We Love This … A wonderfully intimate and expressive oil on canvas by the listed French‑born artist Philippe de Rougemont, painted during his highly productive Swedish period in the 1930s–1940s. Blending Belle Époque figurative tradition with Scandinavian modernism, the work captures a woman admiring herself in the mirror - confident, self‑possessed, and full of personality. De Rougemont’s draughtsmanship is exceptional: the raised arm, angled mirror, and carefully placed objects guide the eye with deliberate elegance. The interplay of light and reflection creates a sense of presence, as though we are sharing the room with her.
