“At the Dressing-Table was executed by Serebriakova in 1909 while she was living near Neskuchnoye, Kursk Governorate (now is a part of Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine). According to Serebriakova, the winter came early in that year, there was a lot of snow, but it was warm in the house, so “she started to paint herself in the mirror, entertaining by drawing different small things from her dressing-table”.”
If you told me this was created this year, I would believe you.
It’s so light and bright. Amazing that’s it’s from 1909.
I love how in so many ways it’s just barely perfect. Like how rough it still looks, but everything about it is right.
she is beautiful, another self portrait

I have been entranced by her paintings. I can totally understand why she’s held to such high regard.
