In Front of the Mirror (recto)

Edouard Vuillard

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of two people standing in front of a mirror. The person on the left is wearing a white shirt with billowy sleeves and blue and yellow striped pants. They are facing away from the viewer and have their back to the mirror. They appear to be holding a hairbrush or comb in their right hand. The person on the right is only partially visible and appears to be wearing a white shirt. Their head is turned to look at the person on the left. The background features yellow vertical lines that may represent a curtain or wall. There are also some indistinct shapes on the left side of the image that could be furniture or other objects. The overall style of the drawing is impressionistic.
