Woman with a Mirror (Femme qui se mire)

1911
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774
In "The Toilet" or "Femme qui se mire," Frieseke painted one of his favorite subjects, a scantily clad woman at a dressing table reflected in a mirror. She is wearing one of the nineteenth-century garments that Frieseke avidly collected. The picture dates from the peak period in Frieseke's production when he established an international reputation as an Impressionist painter.
