"La Toilette" (ca. 1914), oil on canvas, 40 x 32 1/2"

Richard Emil Miller (1875-1943)

Impressionist painter Richard Emil Miller studied art in Paris, France, and belonged to the Giverny Group, a circle of American painters who worked near the French village of Giverny, made famous by impressionist painter Claude Monet. Paintings of women in sunlit interiors are characteristic of Miller's work, and this one, with its luxurious colors and elegant figure seemingly lost in reverie, was surely a bright expression of hope in a world that was arming for war.
