"Reflectively, the art captures moments of introspection and self-contemplation. In 'After the Dance', a group of individuals pause to reflect on the joyous occasion they just experienced in 1883. Meanwhile, the mischievous monkey in 'Monkey Reaches for Reflection of the Moon' by Ohara Koson reaches out for something beyond its grasp, symbolizing our own desire to reach higher and deeper within ourselves. In 'Landscape with bridge and cows', painted between 1810-65, watercolor strokes create a serene scene that invites us to reflect on nature's beauty. Similarly, 'The River Crossing' transports us into a moment of quiet contemplation as we witness figures crossing over troubled waters. Portraits also offer glimpses into reflective moments. The woman seated at a table in c. 1896 appears lost in thought as she gazes into her own reflection through white and red tempera over graphite lines. Coquetry is captured beautifully through a woman admiring herself in a mirror while 'Woman looking in the mirror' showcases another instance where self-reflection takes center stage. Nature provides its own reflections too - Switzerland's Lake Riffel mirrors the majestic Matterhorn peak at an impressive 14, 786 ft height. Meanwhile, Honfleur's harbor reflects tranquility and calmness amidst bustling activity depicted in oil on canvas from 1911. Even animals partake in this act of reflection; as seen when a girl shows her pet dog its reflection using a mirror captured vividly through chromolithography. And who can forget music? A piano sits silently but evokes deep emotions that prompt personal introspection when viewed through black-and-white photography. Lastly, river banks at Saint-Mammes transport us back to 1884 with oil on canvas brushstrokes capturing both stillness and movement simultaneously – inviting viewers to ponder life’s ebb and flow. "
