The artwork, titled “Toilette,” was created by Louise Bourgeois in 1994 in the United States. It falls within the Conceptual Art movement and is categorized under the genre of genre painting.
In this artwork, a simplistic, minimalist line drawing portrays a scene of intimate, everyday activity. A nude figure bends over a basin, engaged in a cleansing ritual, as suggested by the title. The scene is set in a sparsely furnished room, characterized by clean lines and stark features. A pitcher is placed on the floor beside the table, heightening the sense of a personal, domestic moment. The presence of two framed pictures on the walls adds a subtle depth, enriching the space with a quiet narrative. The overall composition exudes a sense of raw, unembellished reality, capturing a private moment with notable simplicity and emotional resonance.
