"Girl Checking Herself for Fleas" is an evocative painting attributed to the French Baroque artist Trophime Bigot, who was active during the early 17th century. Bigot, also known by the moniker "Maître à la Chandelle" (Master of the Candle), is renowned for his mastery of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. This painting is a quintessential example of Bigot's skill in manipulating light to enhance the emotional and psychological depth of his subjects.

The artwork depicts a young girl engrossed in the intimate and somewhat mundane act of examining herself for fleas. The scene is illuminated by a single, soft light source, likely a candle, which casts a warm glow on the girl's face and upper body while leaving the background in shadow. This focused lighting not only highlights the girl's delicate features and the texture of her skin but also imbues the scene with a sense of quiet introspection and vulnerability. The girl's expression is one of concentration, and her posture suggests a moment of private, almost meditative, self-awareness.

"Girl Checking Herself for Fleas" is notable for its realistic portrayal of a common, everyday activity, a theme that diverges from the more grandiose and religious subjects typical of Baroque art. This focus on the ordinary, combined with the dramatic use of light and shadow, aligns Bigot with the Caravaggisti, followers of the Italian painter Caravaggio, who was known for his revolutionary approach to realism and chiaroscuro.

The painting's composition and execution reflect Bigot's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to capture the subtleties of light and texture. While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during Bigot's mature period, when he was most influenced by Caravaggio's techniques. "Girl Checking Herself for Fleas" remains a compelling example of Bigot's contribution to the Baroque movement and his unique ability to find beauty and significance in the simplicity of everyday life.
