This scene of a woman doing some makeup in front of a mirror, looks like a skull from a distance. The title has two meanings : vanity is the name of a dressing table with a mirror, it also means excessive pride in appearance. The message behind the image is : don't worry too much about material things. We'll all be dead in the end.
(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)
“Vanity of vanities
…all is vanity.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:2
Holy Bible.
