"Before the Mirror" is an oil painting by the Italian-English artist Charles Edward Perugini (1839–1918), who was known for his Victorian-era portraits and subject paintings. Perugini's work often reflects the aesthetic and romantic styles of the period, and "Before the Mirror" is no exception, capturing a moment of introspection and the beauty of the female form.

The painting depicts a young woman standing before a mirror, engaged in the act of examining her reflection. The subject is typically dressed in contemporary fashion, which adds to the historical context of the piece. The use of light and shadow, as well as the reflection in the mirror, are elements that Perugini skillfully employs to add depth and realism to the scene.

As a genre painting, "Before the Mirror" offers insight into the private lives and domestic interiors of the time. It is a work that combines the artist's attention to detail with a sense of intimacy, inviting viewers to ponder the thoughts and emotions of the woman portrayed.

Charles E. Perugini was married to Kate Dickens, the daughter of the famous novelist Charles Dickens, and was associated with other prominent artists of the time, such as Frederic Leighton and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. His works were exhibited at the Royal Academy and other important venues, contributing to the artistic landscape of the late 19th century.

"Before the Mirror" is a testament to Perugini's artistic legacy and a valuable piece for those interested in Victorian art and the representation of women in the period's visual culture. The painting is a fine example of Perugini's ability to capture the elegance and subtlety of his subjects, making it a significant work within his oeuvre.
