Sometimes you see yourself reflected within an artwork, and sometimes that artwork is a mirror! Get the best of both worlds when you take home this handy pocket mirror featuring Espagnole (Buste), [The Spanish Woman], 1922, by French artist Henri Matisse. It features the ballerina and musician Henriette Darricarrère in the traditional costume of a Spanish dancer. In this work, Matisse’s closeness with his favourite model at the time is unmistakable. Heady and sensuously enticing – with perhaps an aroma of perfume thickening the air – the painting draws us into its fold to luxuriate in its decorative beauty.
