화장대 앞의 데니스 by Mary Cassatt, circa 1908-9

Mary Cassatt captures a quiet, intimate moment of a woman named Denise getting ready in front of her mirror. Dressed in a loose, white robe with soft pink accents, she holds a small green hand mirror while her reflection in the large round mirror behind her reveals the back of her head as she adjusts her reddish hair. As an American Impressionist living in Paris, Cassatt was famous for depicting the private lives of women, offering a rare female gaze into domestic spaces that male artists of the time often overlooked. The loose, visible brushstrokes give the scene a sense of immediacy and freshness.
