Girl Before a Mirror shows Picasso’s young mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter‚ one of his favorite subjects in the early 1930s.

Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem‚ "Ode to the West Wind" and Sylvia Plath’s poem "Mirror" both employ the poetic tools of apostrophe‚ the address to something that is intangible‚ and personification‚ the application of human characteristics to something inanimate.
