Nude Woman by a Looking Glass (Femme Nue Auprès d'une Glace)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image features two figures depicted from the waist up. Both figures are seated, with one facing forward and the other turned partially away. Their facial features are not detailed. The figure on the right has short hair, while the left figure's hair is indistinct. The figures appear nude, with no clothing visible. They are set against a crosshatched background. No jewelry or objects are present. The composition highlights the contrast between light and shadow on the figures and background.
