=== yes == there are good picture hooks that are designed to hold many different pictures and mirrors from the drywall .... look at the packaging to see the recommended usage === a brad nail is not the type of hanger nail that you should use == picture hooks have a nail that goes thru the hook and hugs the wall at an angle to receive the downward pull of a weight of a picture or mirror AND the consideration is to have an opposing weight holding hook --- a straight in the wall nail will pull out and a slanted nail in the wall will catch the weight === brad nail is no good === slant the nail from the top to place the picture hanger wire against the wall ..... O K !! !!

sure, but it won't stay there long..... that kind of weight needs hung from a better nail, and in a wall stud.....
