Original Description
In Woman Combing Her Hair III (c. 1886–88), Edgar Degas captures an intimate moment of private grooming, rendered in his signature Impressionist style with a masterful play of light and movement. Unlike traditional portraits, this pastel work focuses on the raw, unposed gesture of a woman with her arms raised, her tousled hair cascading down as she combs it—an evocative portrayal of modern femininity. Degas’ fascination with dancers and bathers often highlighted the tension between grace and labor, and this piece is no exception, blending delicate color transitions with vigorous strokes. The textured layers of pastel create a luminous effect, emphasizing the natural curves of the body. As part of his late-career explorations of domestic scenes, this painting stands out for its candidness and compositional daring, prefiguring later Expressionist distortions. Today, it’s celebrated as a bridge between Impressionist spontaneity and modernist abstraction, reflecting Degas’ enduring influence on figure painting.
For a sophisticated yet relaxed ambiance, this artwork suits spaces where organic textures and soft hues dominate. Hang it in a bedroom or dressing area to echo its intimate theme, or in a light-filled office to lend creative energy. A mid-sized framed print (around 24"x30") ensures visibility without overwhelming. Pair it with warm neutrals—muted taupes, blush pinks, or sage greens—to harmonize with Degas’ peachy flesh tones and deep blue shadows. A gilt or black wooden frame will enhance its classic allure, while minimalist furniture (think a curvilinear vanity or linen-upholstered chair) nods to its 19th-century roots. Avoid clutter; the painting’s dynamic lines demand breathing room. For lighting, opt for diffused lamps or a small directional spotlight to mimic the pastel’s glow. In contemporary settings, contrast it with sleek metallic accents for balance, letting Degas’ timeless elegance anchor the space.
