Description |
A woman with a long, shaded nose looks in the mirror on a bureau. She wears a dress with a bustle. The image in the mirror
has less shading and exaggeration, suggesting that the woman's admiration of herself is deluded. Bustles became popular after
1869.

Notes |
Text: There was never a woman old fashion or ugly, / But what thought she possessed every beauty and grace, / And you're no
exception, but as none else can see them, / You're compelled to admire yourself in the glass.
