This painting La Toilette (c. 1880) by Italian artist Giovanni Boldini shows an elegant young woman admiring herself in a small hand mirror. Her playful gaze, smile and the dynamic movement of her curly hair give the work a lively and charming look. She is wearing a slightly translucent white dress with lace, which subtly slips off her shoulders, emphasising the sensuality and sophistication of the moment.
Boldini's signature impressionist painting technique is evident in the loose, flowing brushstrokes, especially in the background and fabric of the dress. The bright blue background contrasts with the warm skin tones and creates a fresh, airy composition. The jewellery, such as the gold bracelet and ring, reinforce the sense of luxury and sophistication characteristic of Boldini's portraits of the Parisian elite in the late 19th century.
Giovanni Boldini (Ferrara, 31 December 1842 - Paris, 12 January 1931) was an Italian impressionist painter, who eventually became famous mainly as a portrait painter.
