"Vanity" is a notable painting by the Scottish artist Bessie MacNicol, who was an influential figure in the Glasgow Girls, a group of female artists associated with the Glasgow School of Art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created in 1899, "Vanity" exemplifies MacNicol's adeptness in capturing the subtleties of light and texture, as well as her keen interest in the themes of femininity and introspection.

The painting depicts a young woman seated at a dressing table, gazing into a mirror. The composition is intimate, drawing the viewer into a private moment of self-reflection. MacNicol's use of soft, diffused lighting enhances the contemplative mood of the scene, while her meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the woman's delicate features and the intricate patterns of her attire and surroundings. The title "Vanity" suggests a contemplation of beauty and self-perception, themes that resonate with the broader societal attitudes towards women during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

MacNicol's work is often celebrated for its technical proficiency and emotional depth, and "Vanity" is no exception. The painting is a testament to her skill in portraiture and her ability to convey complex psychological states through visual means. As a member of the Glasgow Girls, MacNicol contributed to the broader movement of women artists who sought to challenge the male-dominated art world of their time. Her work, including "Vanity," continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its role in the history of Scottish art.

"Vanity" is housed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, where it remains a significant piece within their collection. The painting not only highlights MacNicol's individual talent but also serves as an important cultural artifact, reflecting the artistic and social currents of her era.
