La toilette

Nicolas Ponce after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin with border by Charles-Nicolas Cochin II

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts three individuals within an elegantly decorated room. In the center, a woman stands near a bed, slightly turned towards a seated man on the right. Beside her, another woman assists with her attire. The man is dressed in fine attire, with a waistcoat and breeches. The room features a richly adorned wall, heavy drapery framing a window, and a small dog sitting beside the women. An intricate border surrounds the entire composition, featuring floral motifs and circular designs.
