La toaletă is a 1913 by Louis Roger, depicting Figur, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A person is sitting on a low surface, leaning back with one arm resting behind their head. Their hair is dark and pulled back, and they’re wearing a loose white cloth draped over their lap. The background is dark and blurry, so the focus is on their body and the soft folds of the cloth. The painting uses smooth brushstrokes to show light hitting the skin and fabric, making some areas glow slightly. It’s not a sharp or detailed style—just gentle shapes and tones. If you like this kind of relaxed, natural figure painting, look up chiaroscuro.
Louis Roger kept a small set of copper plates in his Paris apartment and etched them after midnight when the city was quiet.
