"Beauties Toilet" is an oil painting by the British artist Horatio Henry Couldery (1832–1918), known for his detailed and realistic depictions of domestic animals, particularly cats. While Couldery's work was popular during the Victorian era for its charming portrayal of pets in humanized settings, "Beauties Toilet" specifically captures the moment of two cats attending to their grooming, a subject that reflects the artist's keen observation of feline behavior and his ability to render fur textures and expressions with precision.

The painting is characteristic of Couldery's genre scenes, where animals are often anthropomorphized, engaging in activities typically associated with people. In "Beauties Toilet," the cats are depicted with a level of anthropomorphism, as they seem to be involved in a ritual of personal care akin to a human's toilette. This approach to animal subjects was particularly appealing to the Victorian sensibility, which found delight in the sentimental and the quaint.

Couldery received his artistic training at the Lambeth School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. His work was widely appreciated during his lifetime, and he exhibited at the Royal Academy and other prestigious venues. "Beauties Toilet" exemplifies his skill in creating lifelike animal portraits that also serve as whimsical narratives, inviting viewers into a charming world where animals mimic human social customs.

As with many of Couldery's paintings, "Beauties Toilet" would have been reproduced as prints and circulated among the middle classes, contributing to the artist's popularity. The painting is a testament to Couldery's legacy as a significant contributor to Victorian art, particularly in the genre of animal painting, and it continues to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of Victorian-era art and culture.
