Original Description
Edgar Degas' Combing the Hair II (c. 1896) immerses viewers in an intimate, almost voyeuristic moment of daily grooming. The painting depicts a young woman having her long, auburn hair vigorously brushed by an unseen attendant, her body curved in graceful tension against a warm, blurred backdrop. Degas employs his signature pastel technique, layering rich, fiery hues with loose, expressive strokes that blur the line between realism and abstraction. Created late in his career, this work reflects his fascination with candid, behind-the-scenes glimpses of women's lives—far removed from the idealized nudes of his contemporaries. Its raw energy and unconventional composition, cropping the figures abruptly, align with Degas' role as a bridge between Impressionism and modernism. Today, it stands as a testament to his innovative use of color and form, challenging traditional narratives of beauty and domesticity.
For a sophisticated yet inviting decor, Combing the Hair II lends itself to spaces craving warmth and movement. Ideal for a bedroom or dressing area, its lush reds and oranges pair beautifully with earthy tones—think terracotta walls, walnut furniture, or velvet upholstery in moss green. The painting’s compact size (approximately 45 × 57 cm) suits smaller focal walls or curated gallery arrangements alongside Degas’ other pastel studies or Japanese woodblock prints for thematic cohesion. In an office, it adds a tactile, humanizing contrast to minimalist settings; balance its intensity with neutral textiles and matte finishes. Opt for frameless mounting or a slim gilt frame to honor its Impressionist roots while keeping the focus on the pulsating hues that animate any room.
