Painting of women in red and blue robes bending over a reflecting pool in a rocky landscape, one standing figure in pale blue watching.

The Mirror of Venus.

A group of women in flowing red and blue draperies kneel and lean over a shallow pool in a rocky, open landscape, their reflections visible in the still water. A standing figure in pale blue gown looks on from the left, while distant hills and bare trees recede under a soft golden sky.

Español: El espejo de Venus

Un grupo de mujeres con túnicas fluidas en rojo y azul se inclina sobre un estanque poco profundo en un paisaje abierto y rocoso, con sus reflejos visibles en el agua quieta. Una figura de pie, con vestido azul pálido, observa desde la izquierda, mientras colinas lejanas y árboles desnudos se pierden bajo un cielo dorado.

Uma figura em pé, de vestido azul pálido, observa à esquerda, enquanto colinas distantes e árvores sem folhas se perdem sob um céu dourado.
