La vanità is a 1899 oil by Giovanni Segantini, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a woman standing on a rocky outcropping, gazing down at a body of water. She is nude, with long hair that falls down her back. Her right arm is extended, and her left hand is on her hip. The background features a grassy hillside with trees and bushes. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and contemplation. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of introspection, as if she is lost in thought. The use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes adds to the peaceful ambiance of the scene.
