Decorated with fine panelling, this bedroom
possesses an alcove surrounded by wardrobes. The activity illustrated here is
dressing and make-up; the automaton represents a lady of quality with her "belle
poule" hairstyle powdering her face in front of a miniature dressing-table.
Several travelling dressing-cases with their many accessories, a table with
wig-stands, a bath, a water-heater, etc., are all related to the business of
washing and dressing.
