"The Hand Mirror" is a notable painting by the American Impressionist artist Frederick Carl Frieseke (1874–1939). Created in the early 20th century, this work exemplifies Frieseke's fascination with the intimate moments of women's daily lives, often set within the confines of their private quarters. The painting features a woman holding a hand mirror, a recurring motif in Frieseke's oeuvre, which serves as a symbol of femininity and self-reflection.

Frieseke's style in "The Hand Mirror" is characterized by his use of vibrant colors, dappled light, and loose brushwork, hallmarks of the Impressionist movement. He was particularly influenced by the French Impressionists, having spent a significant part of his career working in Giverny, a village in Normandy known for its artist colony that included Claude Monet. Frieseke's work often focused on the effects of sunlight filtering through various surfaces, casting patterns and creating a mosaic of color that adds a sense of vibrancy and movement to the scene.

"The Hand Mirror" is considered an important piece within Frieseke's body of work as it encapsulates his thematic and stylistic preferences. The painting not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also provides insight into the cultural and social norms of the era, particularly regarding the role of women and their representation in art. The subject, caught in a moment of private contemplation, invites viewers to ponder the inner life of the figure, while also appreciating the artist's ability to render the interplay of light and texture.

As with many of Frieseke's paintings, "The Hand Mirror" is appreciated for its contribution to American Impressionism and its depiction of the female form in a manner that is both personal and universal. The work is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
