Frequent Art Questions
This is from a five piece vanity set, right? Do you have the rest on view or in your collection? And what does the other side look like? Just a mirror or does the design continue on the front?
The other side is just a mirror! The Brooklyn Museum owns the complete set including a brush, nail file, nail trimmer, and cuticle trimmer. The other objects can be viewed in the Luce Open Storage gallery on the 5th floor.
