About the piece

In 'The Mirror,' Robert Lewis Reid captures a quiet moment of reflection using the vibrant, broken brushwork characteristic of American Impressionism. The subject’s shimmering blue gown creates a striking contrast against the warm, golden tones of the background screen, which features a crane motif. Painted around 1910, this work exemplifies the artist's focus on decorative harmony and the interplay of light on fabric.
