At the Dressing-Table was executed by Serebriakova in 1909 while she was living near Neskuchnoye, Kursk Governorate[2] (now is a part of Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine). According to Serebriakova, the winter came early in that year, there was a lot of snow, but it was warm in the house, so "she started to paint herself in the mirror, entertaining by drawing different small things from her dressing-table".[3][4]

On the insistence of Eugene Lanceray, her brother, Serebriakova sent At the Dressing-Table to Saint-Petersburg. It was exhibited at the 7th exhibition of the Union of Russian Artists, which moved from Moscow in the beginning of 1910.[5] The painting was well received by the public and art critics. The painter Valentin Serov called it a "very cute and fresh thing",[6] while the painter and critic Alexandre Benois wrote that Serebriakova "gave to Russian public such a wonderful gift, such a "smile from ear to ear", that one cannot fail to thank her for that".[7][8][9] Right after the exposition the painting was bought by the Tretyakov Gallery.[10]

The current self-portrait At the Dressing-Table is considered one of the most important works of Serebriakova along with Bath-house (1913, Russian Museum), Harvest (1915, Odessa Art Museum) and Whitening Canvas (1917, Tretyakov Gallery).[11]
