Painting Woman at the toilet The Hermitage holds one of the best “pastel” works of the master – “The combing woman” or “Woman behind the toilet”.
A young girl sitting with her back to the viewer in a complicated pose. Thin female body piercing, flowing silhouette line and pure light coloring of the picture amaze the viewer.
The artist used the subtle nuances of a monophonic, smoothly shaded pastel, then gradually enriched them with other shades and transitions, and at the end he introduced bright color strokes that emphasized one or another form.
