Tata and Katia in the mirror 1917

Zinaida Serebriakova's "Tata and Katia in the mirror" (1917) is a captivating portrait of two young girls. The painting captures the intimate atmosphere of a domestic setting, with the girls engrossed in their activities. Tata sits at a desk, intently reading, while Katia leans against a vanity, her gaze directed towards the viewer. The mirror, reflecting a scene from the hallway, adds depth and intrigue to the composition. The use of light and color, along with the detailed depiction of the girls' expressions, creates a sense of realism and captures a snapshot of everyday life in the early 20th century.
