You see a woman getting ready for the day in this painting. She's surrounded by simple things like a mirror and a table. The way the artist used simple shapes to show the woman's daily routine is interesting - it was a new way of depicting everyday life at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique of impasto.
During Picasso’s Rose Period (1904–6), the artist frequently depicted a family of circus performers engaged in the rituals of everyday life.
