Original Description
Degas' Femme De Dos S'essuyant Les Cheveux** (Woman Drying Her Hair) captures an intimate, fleeting moment with remarkable grace. Painted between 1895-1898 during Degas' later years, this pastel on paper exemplifies his fascination with candid female forms and unconventional compositions. The work belongs to his celebrated series of bathers, where he abandoned classical ideals in favor of raw, asymmetrical beauty—often viewed as a proto-feminist rejection of male-gazed nudes. Executed in his signature Impressionist-Realist hybrid style, the piece dazzles with vibrating strokes: golden strands blend into peach skin tones against a dreamy teal background, suggesting steam and movement. Though Degas' eyesight was failing, his mastery of color and texture reached new heights here. Today, it’s celebrated as a bridge between traditional portraiture and modern abstraction, influencing artists like Toulouse-Lautrec.
For decor, this artwork thrives in spaces valuing serenity and sophistication. Its vertical format (approx. 50x60cm) suits narrow walls—consider a bedroom vanity nook or a spa-like bathroom to echo the bathing theme. Frame it in a slim, gilt-edged moulding to complement the warm hues, or opt for a matte black frame for contemporary contrast. Pair with muted sage or terracotta walls to harmonize with its earthy palette, avoiding busy patterns that compete with Degas’ delicate strokes. In offices, position it near seating areas to soften corporate rigidity; its introspection sparks calm creativity. For lighting, diffused warm LEDs enhance its pastel glow without fading. A small sculpture (think Rodin or Art Nouveau ceramics) nearby would extend the tactile energy Degas cherished.
