Compact Mirror

A compact mirror inspired by great artists.

The compact features: Claude Monet - Nympheas.

Two mirrors, a regular and a magnifier, beautifully presented with a velvet pouch.

A card is enclosed with the following information:

At age 22, Monet disappointed with traditional art education in Le Havre, moved to Paris.

He took lessons from Charles Gleyre, where he met Renoir, Bazille, and Sisley.

The group were strongly opposed to classicism.

They wanted to capture the fleeting light with rapid brushstrokes and elementary colours

without worrying about the exactness of the representation of shapes.

They worked outdoors, daily life was depicted without symbolism or an underlying message.
