MWW Artwork of the Day (1/17/23) Glyn Philpot (British, 1884-1937) Girl at her Toilet (c. 1910) Oil on canvas, 100  85 cm. Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington NZ

"Girl at her Toilet" is typical in many respects of British painting in the years immediately preceding the First World War. It makes a deliberate contrast with John Singer Sargent’s notorious "Madame X" (1884, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), as well as referring to the suggestive interior scenes of the Dutch tradition that set sexual innuendo in everyday environments. The plain looks of the model (the artist’s sister and devoted supporter, Daisy, who posed for him more than once) and the dark colouring of the setting fit well with the deglamourisation of the female figure that Philpot seems to have been aiming for.
