"Jenny Lind" Mirror

Regina Henderer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an ornate mirror with a circular frame, flanked by two small figurines of women in period dresses. The color palette includes earthy tones of browns, blacks, metallic golds, and muted blue. The circular frame is centrally positioned, with the figures standing symmetrically on each side. Below the mirror, there is a decorative element resembling palm fronds emerging from a support base containing an American flag, a tapered obelisk, and a green figure or emblem, creating a vertical composition.
