"Vanity" is an oil on canvas painting by the 19th-century French artist Auguste Toulmouche, known for his detailed and elaborately dressed figures often depicted in luxurious interiors. Created in 1870, the painting measures 57 x 45 cm and is part of a private collection. It showcases Toulmouche's characteristic style, which combines elements of realism and romanticism, with a focus on the portrayal of bourgeois life and the leisure activities of the upper classes.

The artwork depicts a young, elegantly attired woman seated before a mirror, which is a common motif in Toulmouche's oeuvre. The subject is often interpreted as a representation of the concept of vanity, as the woman appears absorbed in her own reflection, possibly admiring her beauty and wealth. The painting's composition, the richness of the textures, and the attention to detail in the woman's attire and the furnishings of the room are indicative of Toulmouche's skill in rendering textures and his interest in the depiction of contemporary fashion and interior design.

"Vanity" is emblematic of the period's fascination with themes of beauty, wealth, and the moral implications of self-admiration. Toulmouche's work was well-received in his time, and he was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1870. The painting is a fine example of academic art and provides insight into the societal values and aesthetic preferences of the French bourgeoisie during the Second Empire.

As an artist, Auguste Toulmouche (1829-1890) studied under Charles Gleyre and was influenced by his contemporaries, such as Jean-Léon Gérôme and Adolphe William Bouguereau. His works were exhibited at the Paris Salon, where he gained recognition and success. "Vanity" continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery and as a historical document of its era.
