Original Description
Edgar Degas’ Woman Having Her Hair Combed I (c. 1886–88) captures an intimate, unguarded moment in a woman’s private routine. The painting radiates warmth and tenderness, portraying a seated woman absorbed in relaxation as another—likely her maid—gently tends to her cascading auburn hair. Degas’ signature pastel strokes lend the scene a soft, luminous quality, blurring the boundaries between realism and impressionism while emphasizing texture and movement. This work belongs to his prolific series exploring women bathing and grooming, reflecting his fascination with candid, behind-the-scenes glimpses of Parisian life. Unlike idealized academic nudes, Degas’ figures are unposed and natural, marking a pivotal shift in modern art’s approach to the female form. Today, it stands as a testament to his innovative composition and masterful use of color and light, bridging traditional techniques with avant-garde spontaneity.
For interior styling, Woman Having Her Hair Combed I would enrich a bedroom, dressing area, or boutique office space with its soothing palette and graceful subject. Its muted terracottas, creams, and golden hues pair elegantly with warm woods, linen textiles, or gilded accents—ideal for rustic, transitional, or French-inspired decor. Choose a medium-to-large frame (the original pastel measures 29.2 x 23.5 cm) to let its details shine without overwhelming the space. Position it where soft natural light mimics Degas’ luminous tones, perhaps alongside vintage mirrors or ceramic vases to echo its tactile aesthetic. In minimalist settings, let it anchor the room as a focal point; in eclectic spaces, layer it with botanical prints or monochrome sketches for refined contrast. Its tranquil energy makes it perfect for fostering calm in private retreats or creative workplaces.
