"Girl with a Mirror" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1790. Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806) was a prolific and influential artist known for his portraits of beautiful women, and this print is a quintessential example of his mastery in capturing the subtleties of female beauty and expression.

The print depicts a young woman, a bijin (beautiful woman), gazing into a hand mirror, a common theme in Utamaro's work that reflects the Edo-period fascination with personal beauty and fashion. The composition is intimate and contemplative, with the subject's attention absorbed in her reflection. Utamaro's skill in portraying the textures of the woman's kimono and hair, as well as the delicate features of her face, is evident in this piece.

"Girl with a Mirror" is considered a fine example of Utamaro's bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) prints. These works are characterized by their elegant lines, refined color palettes, and the subtle interplay of patterns and light. Utamaro's ability to convey both the physical beauty and the inner life of his subjects helped to elevate the genre of bijinga to new heights during the late 18th century.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Girl with a Mirror" was likely produced through a collaboration between the artist, the woodblock carvers, the printers, and the publisher. These prints were made by carving the artist's design into woodblocks, one for each color, and then printing them in succession onto paper. This process allowed for multiple copies to be made, making the art form accessible to a wider audience.

"Girl with a Mirror" is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as a representation of Utamaro's work during a period when he was at the height of his artistic powers. The print remains an important piece within the canon of Japanese art and continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and craftsmanship.
