The Morning Toilet

c. 1665
Oil on canvas, 37 x 28 cm
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

This is a simplified version of the same subject, painted at approximately the same date, now in the Royal Collection, Windsor. This composition lacks the archway and the vanitas still-life in the foreground, while the pose of the woman is more alluring here.
