The Mirror of Death | José Gutiérrez Solana | 1929

An ornate mirror crowned with skulls hangs between a richly dressed woman and a figure whose body is divided between flesh and exposed bone. Below it, an open case contains more skulls and a small skeleton; an enormous detached hand fills the foreground. Solana gives each object a blunt, material presence through heavy contours and ochre, black and red paint. The mirror’s dim surface offers no reassuring likeness, making this crowded arrangement an unsettling examination of appearance and bodily mortality.
