About this work

The painting shows a nude woman doing her hair in front of a mirror. She's sitting calmly, focused on her reflection. This work is interesting because it was created during a time when artists were just starting to get access to female models for study, which was a new development in art education. The artist was likely part of this new wave of artists learning to paint from life. This experience probably influenced their style and technique.
