"The Layette" is an oil painting by American artist Theodore Robinson, created in 1892. This artwork stands as an important testament to Robinson's career, reflecting his transition from styles inspired by Claude Monet to those more akin to the tonalist aesthetic prevalent in American art of the late 19th century. The painting an intimate scene of domesticity; a gentle portrayal of a young woman seated at a table, engrossed in sewing clothes for an infant.

Located in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, "The Lay" celebrates Robinson's technical and emotional range. The artist's early infatuation with French Impressionism��gauged from his studies with Monet—is visible in his use of soft, diffused light and the candid, serene atmosphere of the composition. However, the reserved color palette and the focus on the emotive potential of the subject, imbued with a sense of quiet contemplation, hints at the Tonalist influence that Robinson would fully embrace later in his career.

The painting’s title, "The Layette," refers to the French term for a set of clothing, linens, and other necessities for a newborn baby, underscoring the personal and domestic themes in the artwork. Robinson not only stunningly captures the woman's meticulous attention to her sewing but also illustrates the broader narrative of maternal anticipation and preparation.

Overall, "The Layette" illuminates the lesser-known facets of the late 19th century American painting—bridging the span between French-inspired Impressionism and native Tonalism, uniting the public and private spheres, and treating everyday domestic scenes with the insight and care typically reserved for grander subject matters.
