The convex mirror

The convex mirror is a c 1916 oil with pencil on wood panel painting by Australian artist George Washington Lambert. 
The work depicts the interior of "Belwethers", a cottage in Cranleigh, a village in Surrey in southern England. 
Lambert was influenced in the creation of this work by the late-Renaissance artist Parmigianino's 1520s painting "Self-portrait in a Convex Mirror".
Lambert's friend, artist Thea Proctor said "The convex mirror" "has the exquisite finish of the Dutch Masters, and shows that a present-day artist could also paint small things in a large manner."
The painting was acquired by the State Library of New South Wales in 2012 as part of a bequest from art collector Helen Selle.
