"La Toilette" (also known as "The Toilette") is an oil painting by the French Impressionist artist Jean Frédéric Bazille, created in 1870. This work is notable for its depiction of a domestic scene, a subject that was popular among Impressionist painters who sought to capture everyday life with a sense of immediacy and freshness. The painting measures 132 cm × 127 cm (52 in × 50 in) and is part of the collection at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France.

In "La Toilette," Bazille explores the intimate ritual of a woman dressing, a moment of everyday life that allows for the study of light, form, and the human figure. The composition features a young woman in a white chemise, standing before a mirror as she arranges her hair. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the textures of fabric and the woman's skin, demonstrate Bazille's skill in rendering the subtleties of the scene.

Bazille's work is often associated with the early development of the Impressionist movement, and "La Toilette" exemplifies many of the characteristics that define this artistic period. The loose brushwork, the interest in capturing the effects of light, and the focus on modern life are all elements that align Bazille with his contemporaries, such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Tragically, Bazille's career was cut short when he died at the age of 28 while fighting in the Franco-Prussian War. Despite his brief career, his contributions to Impressionism were significant, and "La Toilette" remains a testament to his artistic potential and the loss felt by the art world due to his early death. The painting is not only an important work in Bazille's oeuvre but also a valuable piece within the broader context of 19th-century French painting, offering insight into the social and cultural milieu of the time.
