The Toilette (La toilette)

Édouard Manet, 1862

The image shows a person seated with legs bent at the knees, holding a draped fabric across their chest. Their upper body is turned towards the viewer. The person has dark, centered eyes, a neutral expression, and hair that is parted in the middle and pulled back. They are wrapped in a cloth covering their lower body but leaving shoulders and arms bare. In the background, another figure appears to be standing, with a partially obscured face, engaging in an activity near water. The background has a textured, intricate pattern with shadows, adding to the overall aesthetic of the scene.
