"Before The Mirror" is a celebrated painting by the Scottish artist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell, a prominent member of the Scottish Colourists movement. Created in 1914, this work exemplifies Cadell's distinctive style, characterized by bold use of color, elegant compositions, and a modernist approach to traditional subjects. The painting depicts a woman, elegantly dressed, standing before a mirror, which is a recurring theme in Cadell's oeuvre, reflecting his fascination with the interplay of light, reflection, and the female form.

Cadell's "Before The Mirror" is notable for its sophisticated use of color and light, which demonstrates the influence of French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism on his work. The artist's palette in this painting is both vibrant and harmonious, with a striking contrast between the dark background and the luminous figure of the woman. The mirror not only serves as a compositional device but also adds a layer of complexity to the painting, inviting viewers to contemplate the duality of perception and reality.

The subject of the painting, a fashionable woman, is rendered with a sense of grace and poise, capturing the spirit of the early 20th century's modern woman. Cadell's attention to detail in the depiction of textures, such as the sheen of the woman's dress and the reflective surface of the mirror, showcases his technical prowess and keen observational skills.

"Before The Mirror" is housed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, where it continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and its contribution to the Scottish Colourist movement. The painting not only highlights Cadell's artistic talents but also provides insight into the cultural and social milieu of the time, making it a significant work in the history of Scottish art.
