There are many ways to interpret the subject of this print, but simply this Vintage Lithograph by Sigmund Ables features a Woman holding a Mirror. The composition is striking, tension caused in the diagonal positioning of the woman's body and intentional cropping of her leg. The print works in the rule of thirds with the negative space. However you interpret the piece, it is a worthy addition to your collection!
