"Rousse, also called Toilet," by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1889), is a notable example of Post-impressionism and genre painting. The artwork portrays a red-haired woman, stripped to the waist, seated on the floor facing away, capturing an intimate, everyday moment just before or after bathing. Created using oil on cardboard, the painting exemplifies Lautrec’s innovative approach to capturing raw human experiences. Since 1914, it has been part of France’s public collections, residing at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris since 1983.
