La Toilette is a 1880 oil by Henri Fantin-Latour, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
In this painting, a woman in a white dress sits in the center, surrounded by three other women. One woman in a red dress stands behind her, while another in a black dress sits to her right. A fourth woman, dressed in brown, stands to the left, holding a tray with various items. The scene is set outdoors, with trees visible in the background and a blue sky above. The women are engaged in an activity that appears to be a toilette, or a dressing and grooming ritual. This painting is part of the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Ignace Henri Jean Theodore Fantin-Latour (French pronunciation: ; 14 January 1836 – 25 August 1904) was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers.
