Reflections is a 1900 paint by Unknown, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a woman reclining on a couch, surrounded by ornate decorations and patterns. She is dressed in a long, flowing skirt and a cropped top, with her dark hair cascading down her back. The room is adorned with intricate rugs, vases, and other objects, creating a sense of opulence and luxury. In the background, a window offers a glimpse of the outside world, adding depth and context to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity and contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. This painting is reminiscent of the works held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The artwork depicts a scene from a zanana, featuring a young woman seated on a divan holding a mirror in her lap. A carpet covers the floor, while a niched recess and a window with a view of a lake and a white building appear in the background. The piece is executed in opaque watercolour and gold on paper, mounted on grey cardboard. It was formerly part of Sir Robert Nathan’s collection before entering the museum’s holdings in 1921.
