non-objective unity

This piece, by Picasso (courtesy of bing.com/images) shows a solid use of unity by continuing the body of the subject on the left to the one on the right. I see it as a woman looking at herself in a mirror.  The continuation is executed by the arm that stretches across the piece.  It gently takes the eye from the subject to her reflection.  I'm not sure that it matters,  but it woudl appear that the woman in the piece is pregnant.  Unless it's supposed to represent continuity of life?
