DESCRIPTION
Modernist ornamental mirror, ca. 1900.
Patinated terracotta.
Measurements: 83 x 35 x 26 cm.
Modernist ornamental mirror with sculptural structure, with the figure in round bulk of an elegant and beautiful lady of stylized and graceful appearance, holding the moon of the mirror as if it were an oriental fan. The woman is considered in Art Nouveau, under the influence of symbolist literature, as a being of transformation and metamorphosis, and therefore is usually reflected with extreme fantasy, being associated with the supernatural and the unknown. The feminine is intimately associated with the hidden part of nature, with the mysterious and therefore attractive and seductive. The fragile woman, with narrow shoulders and stylized figure, like a nymph or sylph attracts man inexorably towards perdition. She is conceived, therefore, as a contradictory figure, exotic and weak in appearance but demonic in essence.
