Girl Before a Mirror shows Picasso’s young mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter‚ one of his favorite subjects in the early 1930s. Her white-haloed profile‚ rendered in a smooth lavender pink‚ appears serene.

When looking at Pablo Picasso’s “Girl Before a Mirror”‚ one can obviously make out a girl observing herself in front of a mirror. The woman is portrayed one way before the mirror and another way in her reflection. Picasso is obviously sending a message behind the meaning of his work.

I have selected a painting to examine the style‚ medium‚ and the use of the visual elements and design principles as noted above.
