Ladies Toilet Set

William Vergani

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an ornate vanity set with a large oval mirror at the center, flanked by two funnel-shaped vases. The mirror is encompassed by a detailed frame with floral and leaf motifs. The color palette consists of soft pastels, including shades of blue, pink, and green, accented by gold and bronze tones on the frame and stand. The vases are adorned with floral patterns and placed on either side of the mirror, while the dish or tray below features a bird motif. The objects are centered, with the mirror positioned at the top center, the vases to its sides, and the dish below, all supported by a decorative base.
