About this work

A man sits in a chair with his head tilted back, while a woman leans over him, holding a small mirror. The woman’s hair is pulled back, and she wears a loose white top with a red sash. Behind them, bright yellow flowers sit in a vase, and a small horse figure is tucked into the corner of the room. The print mixes simple shapes with bold colors—black outlines, flat reds, and bright yellows. The artist used flat areas of color instead of shading, which makes the scene feel light and quick. This style comes from the Impressionism movement.
