Girl at her toilet is a 1910 oil by Glyn Warren Philpot, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Bowl, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress, sitting on a table with her back to the viewer. She is holding a brush in her right hand and has a bowl of lemons on the table beside her. The woman's dress is off the shoulder, and her dark hair is pulled back. The painting is done in oil paint, with the woman and the objects around her rendered in soft, muted colors. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the woman and the objects in the foreground. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and the objects around her. For more information on chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
Glyn Warren Philpot was a British painter and sculptor, best known for his portraits of contemporary figures such as Siegfried Sassoon and Vladimir Rosing.
