This 19th-century artwork titled "Indian lady at her toilet looking at herself in a mirror" transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the private moments of an Indian woman's daily routine. Created with gouache and delicate gold leaf on paper, this exquisite piece showcases the mastery of the anonymous Indian School artist. In this scene, we witness the lady engrossed in self-reflection as she gazes intently into her handheld mirror. Her traditional costume hints at her cultural heritage, adorned with intricate henna designs that grace her hands. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every nuance of her expression and posture. The painting not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into social history. It offers us a window into domestic life during that period – highlighting the importance placed on personal grooming and vanity rituals within Indian society.

Its inclusion in a private collection speaks to its significance and desirability among art enthusiasts worldwide. Thanks to eArchives Charmet and Bridgeman Images for preserving this extraordinary work of art from India's rich artistic legacy.
