About the piece
Painted in 1905, Emile Vloors' 'The Mirror' captures a quiet moment of reflection. The work demonstrates the artist's masterful technique in rendering the subtle curves and luminous skin tones of the female figure, set against a backdrop of rich, patterned textiles and theatrical props that suggest a sophisticated, bohemian interior.
