Twee vrouwen met ontblote borsten voor een spiegel 1786

"Twee vrouwen met ontblote borsten voor een spiegel" (1786), a color print by French artist Jean François Janinet, depicts a scene of two women in a domestic setting, one seated and partly undressed, the other standing and looking at her reflection. The image, now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, exemplifies the rococo style, known for its playful and decorative elements, as seen in the soft colors and intricate details of the women's clothing and the surrounding interior. The work offers a glimpse into the intimate lives of 18th century women and their focus on appearance, reflecting the social norms of the time.
