More about this artwork

Edgar Degas, a master of impressionistic art, depicts an intimate moment in the portrait dating from around 1886-1888. This painting shows a woman engaging in the simple yet private act of arranging her hair. Here, we see her from behind, captured nude in a moment of everyday life. The composition draws attention to the curve of her back and the motion of her arms as she lifts them to groom her long hair.Degas’ use of soft pastel tones creates a tender ambiance, enhancing the skin's texture and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The background, rendered with loose brushstrokes and abstract forms, allows the viewer’s focus to remain anchored on the figure herself. This painting not only showcases Degas' skill with naturalistic figure painting but also reflects his interest in capturing moments of solitary grace.
