One way of interpreting the painting is when the woman looks at herself in the mirror; she is seeing herself as an old woman. From the green discoloration on her forehead, darkening of her facial features to the lines that show that her young body has been distorted, and gravity has taken its rightful place.

Another way of viewing the painting is that she is self-conscious, and she sees all the flaws in herself that the world doesn’t see.

What is your interpretation? 😉
