“Self portrait in a velvet dress” (1926) by Frida Kahlo 
At the age of 18, Kahlo suffered life-threatening injuries when the train she was riding hit a trolley. During her convalescence, her parents gave her an easel and painting supplies as well as affixed a mirror to the ceiling above her bed so that she could see herself while lying on her back. It was during this recovery period that Kahlo painted Self-portrait in a Velvet Dress. This is her first real painting, Kahlo was influenced by the style of Amedeo Modigliani
