Original Description
Edgar Degas' "Femme Nue Assise, Se Coiffant" (Seated Nude Woman Combing Her Hair) captures an intimate moment of feminine solitude with remarkable sensitivity. Created during Degas' later period (circa 1885-1888), this pastel masterpiece exemplifies his groundbreaking approach to the female form - neither idealized nor eroticized, but observed with clinical precision and profound empathy. The work belongs to Degas' celebrated series of bathing women and hair-combing nudes that revolutionized modern figurative art. Executed in his signature blend of Impressionist light and Old Master draftsmanship, the composition reveals Degas' fascination with unconventional angles and candid postures. The diagonal thrust of the figure's back creates dynamic tension, while the diffused pastel strokes dissolve contours suggestively, placing this work at the pivotal junction between academic tradition and modernist abstraction in art history.
For contemporary interiors, this Degas masterpiece brings sophisticated warmth and artistic pedigree. Consider displaying a high-quality reproduction (approximately 24x30 inches) in a dressing area, bedroom alcove, or executive office to create an atmosphere of refined intimacy. The artwork's dominant earthy peach and ochre tones pair beautifully with warm neutrals, soft grey-green walls, or deep aubergine accents. Its organic composition balances well with both modern furniture (clean-lined vanities or sculptural chairs) and traditional elements (gilded mirrors or tufted ottomans). In minimalist spaces, let it serve as the singular focal point; for eclectic interiors, complement with other Impressionist works or Japanese woodblock prints Degas admired. The natural domestic subject matter makes it particularly suitable for powder rooms or seating areas where guests can appreciate its quiet poetry at leisure. Always illuminate with warm, directional lighting to honor the original pastel's delicate luminescence.
