Need some artsy fartsy help...
Friend of mine asked me a good fucking question, where are the mirrors in this image... and @ what angles... I looked on google but all I see is personal interpretation, is there an actual answer? Or is it like a song/poem and left up to the person interpreting it...?

Christ that image is huge, so changed it to a link...

I think it is her looking into a mirror, seeing herself, and everything else, but I would like to know why you think there are none...

It's not the same girl. The picture is drawn looking at the blonde but the rest of the room is behind her, no mirror. Like another bar maiden behind her, serving the gentleman. IMO

This is correct. The bar is constructed like an island in the middle of the room, not against a wall.

Re: Need some artsy fartsy help...
actually the mirror is behind her, the viewpoint is at an off angle and the gentleman is the "viewpoint"... take a closer look you will see that her mirror image is where her hands are, it took me a while to see it, but if you look the bottles on the bar on the left side, her right, you would expect to see the champagne bottles first in the reflection. However if you pay attention you can see the "Bass Ale" bottle (the one with the red triangle on it) and the red bottle next to it plain as day in the reflection. From there you can work backwards to deduce the other minor reversals in the near ground.

Re: Need some artsy fartsy help...
The black arrow points to the edge of the mirror, which should make it easier to see how it is in fact, a mirror.
The red arrow shows a point of view, and it also points towards the person responsible for the point of view. The man in the mirror is supposed to be the eyes through which we see this picture.
The green arrow further supports that perspective as you can clearly see the edge of the counter in the picture, however at the very bottom it extends off screen.

The morror added about 30lbs to her reflection.
I hate "fat" mirrors.
