Girl Before a Mirror
Picasso painted Girl Before a Mirror as a doubled abstract portrait. It portrays his beloved Marie-Thérèse Walter. She was young and it shows in the left side of this work. Her face glows like a radiant sun. Her belly swells in pregnancy. She represents the full potential of youthful beauty. But the Marie-Thérèse on the right has passed through the looking glass. She’s aged. Her glorious blonde tresses hide behind a shawl. That pale luminosity on her cheeks has shifted into ruddy redness. There are many moon shapes built into the elder portrait in the young girl’s reflection.
