In which museum is Picasso's 'Girl before a Mirror' displayed?

“In which museum is Picasso’s ‘Girl before a Mirror’ displayed?” — The painting is displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Picasso painted Girl before a Mirror in 1932, during a remarkably productive period in which he repeatedly portrayed his young muse Marie-Thérèse Walter. The oil painting shows Walter facing a mirror, while her reflection appears transformed: darker, more heavily made up, and suggestive of age or mortality.

The work is often discussed as more than a straightforward portrait. Its divided face, contrasting colors, and altered reflection invite readings about youth and aging, desire and self-awareness, and the passage of time. Some interpretations connect the mirror image with the traditional artistic theme of vanitas, a reminder that beauty and life are temporary.

The Museum of Modern Art acquired the painting in 1938, and it has remained one of the museum’s best-known Picasso works. A common mix-up is to associate it with the Musée Picasso in Paris because Picasso spent much of his career in France; this particular canvas, however, belongs to MoMA’s New York collection.
