Original Description
Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell’s Before The Mirror (c.1914) is a captivating example of Scottish Colorism, blending bold Post-Impressionist hues with elegant intimacy. The painting depicts a stylish woman—likely Cadell’s frequent muse, model, and sister Mary—adjusting her hat before an ornate mirror, framed by rich interior details. Warm burgundies, creams, and golden yellows dominate, radiating Belle Époque luxury while retaining Cadell’s signature flattened perspective and expressive brushwork. Created during Edinburgh’s artistic renaissance, it exemplifies Cadell’s mastery in merging French modernism with Scottish sensibility, solidifying his place as a leader of the early-20th-century Scottish avant-garde. The work’s reflective theme and poised subject embody the era’s fascination with identity and domestic modernism, making it a jewel of British interior scenes.
For decor, Before The Mirror lends sophistication to spaces celebrating refined aesthetics. Its warm palette pairs seamlessly with art deco furnishings or Scandinavian minimalist interiors—hang it against deep emerald or navy walls to amplify its jewel tones. A gilded frame enhances its period elegance, while a clean-lined black frame modernizes it for offices. Ideal above a console table in an entryway or a bedroom vanity, its intimate scale (typical Cadell works range 60x50cm) suits smaller statement walls. Complement with velvet upholstery, brass accents, or a Murano glass lamp to echo its luminous quality. In workspaces, pair with muted neutrals to let its vibrancy inspire creativity without overwhelming.
