I have noticed that capes are back in fashion, now you can see women wearing their capes in winter and I must admit at the beginning it looked a bit strange although the cape has it own charm.
Anyway it reminded me a beautiful painting by the 18th century French painter Jean Baptiste Siméon Chardin (1699 – 1779), Morning Toilette, c. 1740, oil on canvas, 49 × 39 cm, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden.
In this painting you can see a mother and her daughter with their capes on. The scene is taking place in a small room with a table and a mirror. The light in the painting is coming from the left side with range of reds and pinks. The little girl cape is in pale blue, the mother wear a black sheer cape. They share an intimate mother and daughter moment with their elegant charming capes.
