Theil, Andrea. “Mirror #1, 1972 (RLCR 2032).” In Roy Lichtenstein: A Catalogue Raisonné. New York: Roy Lichtenstein Foundation. www.lichtensteincatalogue.org/catalogue/entry.php?id=10 (accessed June 2, 2026).
Mary Lee Corlett, The prints of Roy Lichtenstein. A catalogue raisonné 1948–1997, New York 1994, CR no. 106 (illustrated in color).
In good condition. The edges of the sheet show slight color variation and are naturally wavy. There is a fine, streaky surface abrasion in one spot, likely caused by framing.
