About this work

Overview

Nude Woman by a Looking Glass is an etching on wove paper created by Albert Besnard in 1889.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a nude woman standing beside a mirror, her back and side visible to the viewer. The mirror reflects a dark, indistinct shape, presumably her face. The woman's hair and the cloth draped over her body are rendered in loose, textured lines.

Technique & Style

The image is built up through a layered, scratchy style characteristic of etching, a printmaking technique that involves scratching a design into a plate.
