"Woman Combing Her Hair" is a captivating pastel artwork by the French artist Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas, known professionally as Edgar Degas (1834–1917), who is celebrated for his contributions to Impressionism, though he preferred to be called a realist. Created in the late 19th century, this piece is part of Degas's extensive exploration of the theme of women at their toilette, engaging in intimate, everyday activities such as bathing, drying themselves, and, as depicted here, combing their hair. Degas's fascination with these moments allows viewers a glimpse into the private, unguarded moments of a woman's daily life, showcasing his mastery in capturing the essence of human form and movement.

The artwork is notable for its vivid use of pastels, a medium Degas became increasingly fond of in his later years, appreciating its vibrant colors and the ability to blend and layer hues to create texture and depth. "Woman Combing Her Hair" exemplifies Degas's skill in using pastels to render the intricate details of the woman's hair and the softness of her skin, set against a loosely defined background that focuses attention on the figure herself.

Degas's interest in the dynamics of movement and the human body is evident in the composition of "Woman Combing Her Hair." The woman is captured in a candid, almost voyeuristic manner, her body twisted in a natural, yet slightly awkward pose that conveys the act of combing through her hair. This choice of pose reflects Degas's lifelong interest in the study of human physiology and his ability to depict the body in motion, themes that are prevalent throughout his work, including his famous studies of dancers.

"Woman Combing Her Hair" is part of a broader series of works by Degas that depict similar scenes of women grooming. These works collectively highlight the artist's innovative approach to composition, his experimental use of color and light, and his contribution to the development of Impressionism. While Degas himself eschewed the label of Impressionist, preferring to be seen as an independent realist, his work, including "Woman Combing Her Hair," played a crucial role in the movement's evolution, challenging traditional notions of subject matter and technique in art.

Today, "Woman Combing Her Hair" is celebrated as a prime example of Degas's mastery in capturing the beauty and complexity of everyday life, and it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and emotional depth. The artwork resides in a prestigious collection, contributing to the legacy of Edgar Degas as one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 19th century.
