The femme fatale gracing Corinne’s painting reflects a contemporary milieu in their attire and settings. Contrasted with the dimly lit interior, lavish accoutrements in the form of jewellery and leather accents extend the concept of allure to one with confidence and freedom. Mention is also made therein of how dress and ‘accessory arts’ have contributed to a female’s ability to overcome the passive, objectified status conferred in a patriarchal realm, reflected in the freedom featured in the women’s movement. Lewis utilises this piece to embody femininity through both imagery and painterly prowess, alluding to a celebration of sensual style.
