Original Description
Ulisse Caputo's La Prova Del Cappello ("The Hat Try-On") is a captivating early 20th-century work that radiates Belle Époque elegance and bourgeois sophistication. Painted circa 1910-1920 during Caputo's Parisian period, the oil on canvas showcases his signature academic realism infused with Impressionist luminosity—a style bridging traditional portraiture and modern spontaneity. The scene depicts an upper-class woman admiring herself in a mirror while trying on an elaborate hat, her voluminous dress and the milliner's delicate gestures rendered with exquisite textile details. Warm amber tones bathe the intimate boutique setting, creating a scene brimming with tactile richness and feminine refinement. Though less famous than his Venetian scenes, this work exemplifies Caputo’s mastery of genre painting, occupying a fascinating niche in art history where salon traditions met the emerging modernist fascination with daily life rituals.
For interior styling, this painting's 24x30" standard portrait size makes it ideal for focal placement above a console table or accentuating a dressing area’s vanity. The gilded frame and warm palette demand pairing with jewel-toned velvets in emerald or burgundy upholstery, while the bourgeois subject matter harmonizes beautifully with art nouveau furnishings or classic Louis XVI chairs. In offices, install it in reception areas to convey refined professionalism—balance its ornate details with clean-lined desks in walnut finishes. The painting’s verticality suits narrow walls in powder rooms or stairwells, where its intricate hat details can be appreciated at close range. For color continuity, introduce brass accessories or peach-toned florals to echo the canvas’s glowing highlights, creating a cohesive vintage-inspired ambiance that honors its heritage without feeling costumed.
