The young woman delicately holds a puff as she meticulously powders her face, engrossed in the act of beautifying herself. Morisot's brushstrokes beautifully capture the softness and femininity of the subject, emphasizing her graceful presence within the frame. The mirror placed strategically behind her reflects not only her image but also adds depth to the composition, creating an illusion of a larger space. The dressing table adorned with various objects like earrings and a peignoir further enhances our understanding of this private ritual. It invites us into the inner sanctum of femininity, where personal grooming becomes an art form itself.

This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home a piece of history while celebrating Morisot's contribution as one of
