A Passing Glance 1900

"A Passing Glance" (1900) by Thomas Pollock Anshutz (1851-1912) is a striking portrait of a woman gazing into a mirror. The woman's reflection is visible, creating a sense of self-reflection and introspection. The artist utilizes soft brushstrokes and warm colors to create a sense of intimacy and realism. The painting is an example of the American Impressionist style, characterized by its focus on light and color. The work invites viewers to consider the fleeting nature of time and the complexities of identity.
