Reflection: Seated Nude at the Vanity" Signed and Dated 1937
This evocative 1937 pastel work depicts a woman seated at her dressing table, her form reflected in the central panel of a tri-fold mirror. It is signed and dated 1937. The signature is illegible.
Executed in pastel on card, the artist utilizes a high-contrast palette. The soft, blended textures of the pastel create a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere in the background, contrasted by the sharp, gestural lines of the mirror and the figure’s silhouette.
The work sits at the intersection of late Impressionism and Art Deco realism. The 1937 date places it in a period where artists were revisiting classical themes with a modern, psychological edge. A cigarette is drawn at the rear of the card.
