Girl Plays Violin for Beethoven

Vanity with Girls and Beethoven

The Mirror
A young girl sets on a wooden chair playing a violin. Next to her is a large mirror which reflects her image as an old woman. She is in a room, illuminated by candles, on a table next to the chair. The table is covered by a decorated table cloth and contains some of the vanity relics such as a skull, old books, a fancy old clock, and decaying flowers. On the wall a painting of Beethoven by Joseph Stieler.
