Original Description
In Femme se peignant (Woman Combing Her Hair), Edgar Degas captures an intimate moment of a woman lost in her daily grooming ritual, her arms arched gracefully as she tends to her cascading hair. Painted circa 1888–1890, this pastel-on-paper masterpiece exemplifies Degas' fascination with candid, behind-the-scenes glimpses of women, a recurring theme in his late career. The composition’s fluid lines and the luminous interplay of warm and cool hues—soft pinks against muted blues—evoke a dreamy, almost voyeuristic tranquility, characteristic of his impressionistic yet distinctly personal style. Unlike his famed ballet scenes, this work reflects a quieter, more introspective side of femininity, making it a significant study of private female spaces in 19th-century art. Degas’ experimental use of pastels and asymmetrical framing place it among his most innovative pieces, bridging traditional portraiture and modern abstraction.
When displaying Femme se peignant in a home or office, lean into its elegant simplicity and organic warmth. Ideal for a bedroom, dressing area, or a softly lit study, the pastel tones harmonize beautifully with neutral palettes—think ivory walls, pale oak furniture, or linen textiles. A gilded, minimalist frame would honor its 19th-century roots while keeping the focus on the artwork. For balance, pair it with smaller Degas sketches or Japanese woodblock prints, nodding to his inspirations. In a contemporary space, let it anchor a vignette with a sculptural vanity mirror or a curvaceous chair, echoing the painting’s fluid forms. Choose a mid-sized display (the original measures 24.8 x 20.9 cm) to maintain intimacy without overwhelming the room, ensuring it remains a contemplative focal point. The artwork’s muted energy suits spaces meant for relaxation or creative reflection.
