Painted in 1909, "At the Dressing Table. Self-Portrait" is the most celebrated and defining masterpiece by Zinaida Serebryakova, which marked her triumphant breakthrough at the "World of Art" exhibition in 1910. The composition is ingeniously structured as a reflection in a mirror, offering an intimate yet objective view of the artist during her morning routine as she combs her long, thick hair. The interior is flooded with natural light, emphasizing a rich palette of subtle white tones and meticulously rendered dressing table items, such as perfume bottles and pins. Created at her family estate of Neskuchnoye, the painting shuns idealized salon flattery, radiating instead a genuine warmth, youthfulness, and domestic harmony. Executed in oil on canvas on cardboard, the artwork resides in the permanent collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
