Le neglige, ou la toilette du matin

Jacques-Philippe Le Bas after Jean Siméon Chardin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals, a woman and a child, standing in what appears to be an interior room setting. The woman is tending to the child's hair. The woman's body is shown from head to toe, and the child is seated on a chair with a cloak covering her shoulders. The child's hair is styled with a ribbon. The woman is dressed in layered garments, and the child is wearing a cloak. A small stool or table beside the child holds various items, and in the background, there is a cabinet or pedestal with a decorative object on top. The room is dimly lit.
