This photograph by Franz Roh, an important figure in the New Objectivity movement, features a woman - likely his wife Juliane - holding a cat before a mirror. The composition plays with reflection and gaze, blending intimacy with subtle surrealism. It exemplifies Roh’s interest in photography as a medium of psychological depth and visual experimentation. – Some scuff marks, light creases and traces of previous mounting, otherwise in good condition.
