This painting shows a woman sitting in front of a table with a vase of flowers. She is topless and has long, red hair. Another woman, dressed in a yellow dress, is standing behind her, brushing her hair. The scene is set in a room with a blue wall, and the atmosphere is intimate and serene. The woman sitting down has a mirror in her hand, and the other woman is focused on her task. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
