About the piece

Painted in 1903 by Catalan artist Ricard Canals, this intimate work captures a moment of 'la toilette' with a soft, dappled palette. The composition centers on the interplay of color and light, contrasting the warm auburn hair of the seated figure against the cool blue floral backdrop and the vibrant yellow of the attendant's dress.
