# Woman at Her Toilette, in Berthe Morisot

Berthe Morisot painted this in 1875–80, aged about 29. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.

From the museum's label:

> Rendered with feathery brushstrokes in shades of lavender, pink, blue, white, and gray, this Impressionist painting captures a subject often explored by male artists of the day but seldom broached by the period's few women artists. Morisot presents a decidely female perspective, intimate yet not eroticized.
