Worth a second read to “mirror” the messages here. The painting is “absurdly” wonderful and unforgettable. It is difficult, if not impossible, to see ourselves with reflective eyes, just as the mirror in the painting cannot “stare” face to face. Fascinating.

We made fun of people in my generation that couldn't pass a mirror without pulling out the comb and or lipstick.
