    The Mirror (ca. 1910)

    Robert Reid (American, 1862–1929)

    A woman gazes into the mirror, bathed in soft light. The reflection blurs—not just her face, but the boundary between observer and observed. Brushstrokes dissolve the edges of reality, leaving only the quiet tension of self-awareness. The room hums with unspoken questions. What does she see? What do we?

    Nu à la psyche (1910)

    Henri Gervex (French, 1852–1929)

    A woman stands before a mirror, her body bathed in soft light. The reflection blurs the line between reality and illusion, her gaze meeting ours through the glass. The curve of her back, the fall of fabric—each detail pulls us deeper into this intimate moment suspended between seeing and being seen.
