About
Degas enjoyed the vibrancy to pastels, beautifully exhibited here in form of a young woman at her mirror. Blue and cream colors jump off the canvas, capturing the viewers gaze. A combination of quick hatches and long strokes of pastel make up the composition, Degas’s signature forms of mark making. Reflected in the mirror are the brush and bottles, though the young woman is conspicuously absent from the reflections, only a few swatches of white to suggest where her reflection would sit. As the title suggests,it is the figure in front of the mirror who is the subject of the piece, not so much the mirror itself, perhaps explaining why so much more detail was put in to the world outside of the mirror than the reflections within it.
