Courting Mirror c. 18th century

This anonymous, 18th-century *Courting Mirror* from the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a small, rectangular mirror with a decorative frame. The frame is constructed of multiple layers of wood and features a colorful, geometric pattern painted on the surface. The top of the frame is shaped like a pointed arch, and a painted floral motif adorns its center. This mirror, likely designed for personal use, showcases a combination of traditional craftsmanship and vibrant decorative elements.
