Note du spécialiste

Cadell's preoccupation with mirror reflections continued throughout his career. The Model, circa 1912 (Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh) and the present work are among Cadell's few paintings of nudes. In Girl in Blue (Reflections), circa 1912 (Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery) a clothed figure sits before a mirror, looking out to the viewer, and her reflection provides us with a view of her side profile. The composition closely echoes that of the present work, in which her nudity and loose hair are the only differences.
