Original Description
In Edgar Degas' captivating pastel Woman Having Her Hair Combed (c.1886-1888), we witness an intimate moment of private toilette transformed into poetic movement. Bathed in warm golden light, the composition reveals Degas’ masterful portrayal of modern Parisian life – not in grand boulevards but in unguarded domestic scenes. The artist’s signature style shines through the dynamic diagonal lines of the maid’s arms and the sinuous curves of the woman’s back, creating rhythmic energy within stillness. While categorized as Impressionist, Degas transcends the movement with his sculptural draftsmanship and psychologically charged realism. This work exemplifies his revolutionary approach to figure paintings, where subjects are caught mid-action as if glimpsed through a keyhole. Among Degas’ beloved toilette series that challenged academic traditions, this piece particularly demonstrates his genius for making ordinary rituals feel monumental through luminous color harmonies and innovative viewpoints.
For interior decoration, this artwork’s warm ochres and peaches harmonize beautifully with neutral-toned walls in taupe or soft gray, allowing the pastel brilliance to glow. Consider displaying it in a dressing area or bedroom to echo its intimate theme, or create striking contrast by placing it in a modern office to soften corporate spaces. An ideal frame would be a slender gilt bamboo moulding to complement Degas’ Japonisme influences without competing with the artwork. At its typical 29 x 23 cm dimensions, it deserves focused lighting and should be hung at eye level (about 57-60 inches from floor) in compact spaces like reading nooks or beside vanities. Pair with textured fabrics in burnt orange velvet or linen for tactile richness that mirrors the pastel strokes. In minimalist settings, let it stand alone as a vibrant focal point; for eclectic spaces, group it with smaller Degas ballet sketches or Japanese woodblock prints to build a curated narrative wall.
