Girl before a Mirror is one of the most famous Picasso
painting. Marie Thérèse, a teenager with whom Picasso had fallen in love, inspired
this painting . Marie Thérèse was the inspiration behind many of the Picasso
paintings, especially the Vollard Suite etchings. Picasso met Marie Thérèse Walter
in 1927 and they lived together for some time and also had a daughter named Maya.
Marie-Thérèse died By hanging herself in 1977, four years after Picasso died. This
particular Picasso painting is filled with ornamental and decorative elements,
common in the so-called glazed style applied to some of his works.

oil painting on canvas. The painting was gifted to The Museum of Modern Art, New
