Here are a few of my favorites...many of them were created understandably by Pin Up Artists, who have been celebrating the feminine lifestyle for decades. But some are 'fine' artists who were likewise moved to capture the aesthetic of beautifying oneself.
I believe the following painting is supposed to depict a boy's first haircut, though I've always assumed it was a little girl. Being that it was painted in 1918, it's unlikely that a little gal would be getting a haircut or that her mother would condone such a thing.
Waterhouse painted some of the most lyrically beautiful pictures of ladies at their toilette.
More Norman Rockwells...

K.O Munson had some amazing pieces (no pun intended) and his work is often overlooked in the Pin Up field. The backing sketches make them especially frame-worthy.
Hopefully you enjoyed this little art show and it has further inspired you to set up an area that lends itself to creativity as well. Nothing else makes you feel quite so lady-like as a designated dressing room or table. :)
