Uemura Shōen {上村松園} - Woman Looking in a Mirror (c.1935)

'Woman Looking in a Mirror' (鏡を見る女) is the most common title for this late work by Uemura Shōen, especially in Western sources.

In Japanese it is often called 'Oshidori-mage' (おしどり髷), literally 'mandarin-duck topknot', referring to the woman's hairstyle; or sometimes simply 'Kamigata' (かみがた), 'hair arrangement' in general - what English usually names with the French loanword 'coiffure'.

I am not an expert on hairstyles, so no comments there, but mirror-wise this is not an accurate description. What we clearly see is that the woman uses two, not one, mirrors. I bet this type of operations, with two mirrors simultaneously, must have had a specific term - in Japanese culture most certainly (they have special words for everything) and likely in the West, too - though it seems to have disappeared from modern vocabulary.

Even in the most obvious cases of such two-mirror use, such as Bellini's famous 'Giovane donna nuda', where the entire point was to show two different mirrors with two different optics, she is still described as 'allo specchio', as if there were only one mirror:
