The Parisian Sphinx, c1880. An elegantly dressed young woman looks straight at us and coquettishly adjusts her furs with a gloved hand, her shadowy face giving her an air of mystery. The painting’s title, The Parisian Sphinx, connects this beautiful, seductive woman with the mythical creature--half human, half lion--that destroyed those who were unable to solve its riddles.
