Barribal Mirror 1925 Pampering
EDITORS COMMENTS
'A Moment of Reflection' by William Barribal, Circa 1925 In this exquisitely captivating image, 'A Moment of Reflection,' the elegant woman in black, lost in thought, engages in a tranquil ritual of self-care at her mirror. The year is 1925, and the opulence of the Art Deco era is evident in the rich textures and intricate details of her surroundings. The woman, dressed in a sleek, form-fitting black gown, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Her dark hair, styled in soft waves, cascades down her shoulders, framing her delicate features. She cradles a small porcelain bowl in one hand, its contents hidden from view, while her other hand tenderly touches her face, her eyes fixed on her reflection. The mirror, an ornate, gilded frame, reflects not only the woman's image but also the luxurious room, filled with plush furnishings, velvet drapes, and an abundance of flowers. The room bathed in soft, warm light, creating a serene and indulgent atmosphere. William Barribal masterfully captures the essence of this moment, where the woman takes a pause from the world to focus on herself, to rejuvenate and recharge. The image is a testament to the power of self-care and the importance of taking time for oneself, a message that resonates deeply with us even today. This photograph, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a beautiful reminder of the elegance and refinement of the past, and the timeless allure of self-indulgence and self-care.
