The Toilet 

Eva Gonzales’ painting, “The Toilet,” depicts two women in a domestic setting. One woman is seated in a pink dress while the other woman stands behind her, arranging her hair. The painting showcases Gonzales’ talent for depicting realistic figures and intimate moments. Gonzales was a student of Édouard Manet, and her work is characterized by the same impressionistic style, evident in the loose brushstrokes and focus on capturing the fleeting moments of daily life. The painting is a testament to the beauty of domesticity and the intimate relationships between women in the late 19th century.
