Nudo allo specchio con cagnolino 1955

"Nudo allo specchio con cagnolino" (1955) by Felice Casorati is a painting depicting a nude woman standing before a mirror, her reflection obscured by her own body. The woman, depicted in simplified, almost geometric form, appears to be adjusting her hair. The painting’s composition is striking, with strong diagonals created by the mirror and the figure, lending the painting a sense of dynamism. The presence of a small dog, also simplified in form, adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise stark scene. Casorati's work is known for its distinct style, combining elements of realism with a touch of abstraction, as seen in this painting.
