The artwork titled “Woman Looking at Herself in the Mirror” is created by Suzanne Valadon in 1920 in Paris, France. Executed using pastel on paper, it belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of genre painting.
The artwork depicts a woman gazing at her own reflection in a mirror. She stands in the foreground, partially draped in a pink garment, with her hair styled in a bob. The mirror captures not only her figure but also an alternate perspective, enriching the composition with an interplay of reflections. The background is simplistic yet vibrant, with hues of blue and hints of green. The use of pastel imbues the scene with a soft, tactile quality, characteristic of Valadon’s technique. The woman’s pose and the introspective nature of the scene evoke a sense of contemplation, capturing a moment of quiet self-reflection.
