“Lady in the Mirror”, watercolour, Lentrein Jules (1875-1943)

Watercolour on paper of a young woman looking into a mirror. Her back is painted in three-quarter view. One hand can be seen resting on the mirror and the other on her chest, as if she were expressing something by looking at herself. A little dance figure stands at the front of the scene. The scene is intimate, and the woman is not recognizable. Nicely framed. Signed by the Belgian artist Jules Lentrein lower right.

Size: H 30 cm x W 22 cm – H 63 cm x W 57 cm

Belgian school circa 1920s.
