About the piece
Rendered in 1893 by Henri-Gabriel Ibels, this pastel on paper captures a quiet, private moment. The artist utilizes soft, textured strokes to depict the sitter's back and her soft reflection in the mirror, exemplifying the candid observational style and charming palettes found in French genre scenes of the era.
