Description

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s woman stands partly back-turned as she looks toward a small hand mirror held up at the left. Furniture belongs to the space behind and beside her, giving the act of examining her appearance a practical setting. The figure’s direction connects her body with the reflected view, making a private routine the image’s main encounter.

Dated 1896, the lithograph was printed in three colors on wove paper. Toulouse-Lautrec gives daily life a graphic presence that can be approached slowly, allowing a modest subject to remain distinct from the artist’s more overt publicity designs. The title keeps the act of looking central, connecting bodily appearance with a small practical object. The print preserves one private encounter, where self-attention becomes part of the viewer’s own experience of studying the image.
