Watercolour "woman In Mirror", Lentrein Jules (1875-1943)

Watercolour on paper of a young woman looking into a mirror. Her back is painted in three-quarter view. One hand can be seen resting on the mirror and the other on her chest, as if she were expressing something by looking at herself. A figure stands at the front of the scene. The scene is intimate, and the woman is not recognizable. Nicely framed. Signed by the Belgian artist Jules Lentrein lower right.
