Woman Seated at a Dressing Table is a 1875 oil by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting depicts a woman sitting in front of a dressing table, facing right. She wears a white dress with green trim and a brown headscarf. The woman sits on a wooden chair with a green upholstered seat, her back slightly arched as she looks into a mirror on the table. The room is dimly lit, with the woman and the dressing table positioned in the center of the composition. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the scene. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she gazes into the mirror.
