About the Item
This print titled "Dame bei der Toilette," translates to "Lady at Her Toilette" or "Lady at Her Dressing Table." It depicts a young woman in her boudoir, a private room for dressing and personal care, engaging in the intimate act of styling her hair in front of a mirror. This print was made after a painting by Heinrich Franz Gaudenz von Rustige, a German artist known for his genre paintings and works depicting historical or everyday scenes with a focus on the details of interior spaces and the clothing of his subjects.
Heinrich Franz Gaudenz von Rustige lived between 1810 and 1906, and he was active during a period in art where there was a great interest in depicting domestic life and the daily activities of individuals, especially women. His works often showcase the elegance and refinement of the bourgeois lifestyle of the 19th century.
The print likely dates from around 1880, and would have appealed to the Victorian sensibilities of the time, with its emphasis on modesty, femininity, and the private sphere of women. The detailed attention given to the interior setting, including the furniture, the ornate tablecloth, and the framed pictures on the wall, is characteristic of von Rustige’s style. The room is richly appointed, suggesting the lady’s social status, and the act of dressing is presented as a ritual of beauty and grace.
Such prints were popular in the 19th century as they provided a way to own and enjoy art in the home at a more accessible price point than original paintings. They were often used to decorate homes and reflect the homeowner's taste and cultural interests.
