You see a woman sitting at her vanity table, still wearing her earrings and a velvet ribbon. She's taking down her hair after a night out. The painting shows a quiet moment in a woman's life, giving us a glimpse into her private world, and the soft brushstrokes in the background add to the intimacy of the scene. Check out the work of Berthe Morisot.
