Description
This image depicts a woman in an initimate setting getting ready for the day. The womans gaze as she adjusts her attire is angled slightly towards the viewer inviting contemplation.
The use of a subtle colour palette, with light and dark elements creates an atmosphere.
The painting challenged traditional representations of women in art at the time, he presents her as an individual with her own thoughts and actions.
With a focus on domestic life it aligns with impressionist principles capturing the fleeting moment and transient beauty of everyday life.
