Gabrielle Vallotton à sa table de toilette is a 1900 tempera by Félix Vallotton, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a woman in a black dress with red accents, sitting in front of a mirror. She has her back to the viewer and is looking into the mirror, which is positioned on a table with a red cloth. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she appears to be applying makeup or powder to her face. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the left side of the painting that lets in a sliver of light. The walls are adorned with a few pieces of artwork, and there is a door on the right side of the painting that leads to another room. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as the woman is lost in her own thoughts as she prepares for the day. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Félix Vallotton.
