Original Description
In Edgar Degas' intimate pastel Woman Combing her Hair (1887-90), the artist captures a fleeting private moment with remarkable vitality. A woman bends forward, her fiery red hair cascading as she combs it with rhythmic motion, her face obscured – emphasizing universal femininity over individual identity. Degas’ hallmark cropped composition and tilted perspective make viewers feel like discreet observers of this informal ritual. Executed during his later years when he turned increasingly to pastels, the work showcases his mastery of color tones – the woman’s flushed skin contrasts exquisitely with cooler blue-green shadows and warm amber highlights in her hair. This piece epitomizes Degas’ fascination with modern life and the female form while bridging Impressionism’s spontaneity with more structured draftsmanship, influencing later artists like Toulouse-Lautrec.
For interiors, this artwork’s muted yet rich palette makes it versatile for both classic and contemporary spaces. Hang it in a powder room or dressing area to echo its intimate theme, or let it anchor a minimalist living room with its warmth balancing neutral tones. The ideal frame would be slim, possibly in brushed gold or deep walnut, enhancing the pastel’s texture without competing. At approximately 24 x 18 inches (common for Degas’ pastels), it suits medium-sized walls – pair with ambient lighting to accentuate its glowing hues. In an office, place it near seating areas to soften professional rigidity; the organic curves of the figure pair elegantly with modern furniture or vintage Art Deco pieces. Consider echoing its apricot and teal tones through throw pillows or ceramics for a cohesive look.
