The mirror is the symbol of truth, of unveiled reality - held in this case by a naked female figure, with a reference to vanity, one of the earthly sins. The topic and the title refers to Nuda Veritas of Klimt but it does not follow the complicated symbolism of the Austrian master, nor his deep philosophical thoughts.
