Toulmouche specialized in paintings of beautiful women in interiors, a genre which evolved into a later nineteenth-century movement known as Costume painting. The work of Costume painters focused upon sentimental, romantic scenes of daily life. Here, a woman is having her hair wrapped in linen strips, twisted, and then tied to produce ringlets.
