Original Description
Konstantin Andreevic Somov’s The New Haircut (1898) is a delicate fin-de-siècle masterpiece that captures the elegance and intimacy of the Russian Silver Age. The painting depicts a fashionable young woman seated before a mirror, her freshly styled hair being admired by an attendant. Somov’s soft brushwork and pastel palette lend a dreamlike quality, while the Rococo-inspired setting reflects his fascination with 18th-century aesthetics—a hallmark of the World of Art movement he co-founded. The scene exudes quiet opulence, blending subtle eroticism with refined domesticity, characteristic of his portraiture. Historically, Somov’s work bridges Symbolist introspection and Art Nouveau’s decorative flair, making The New Haircut a quintessential example of Russia’s bourgeois cultural revival amidst pre-revolutionary tensions.
For interior styling, The New Haircut harmonizes beautifully with spaces favoring romanticism and historical charm. Hang it in a bedroom or dressing area to echo its intimate theme, ideally framed in gilt or carved wood to complement its vintage grace. The muted pinks and blues in the painting pair well with soft neutrals or rich jewel tones—consider velvet upholstery or silk drapery to enhance its luxurious texture. A medium-sized reproduction (around 24x30 inches) ensures visibility without overwhelming smaller rooms. In offices, it suits creative fields like design or fashion, adding a touch of refined whimsy when juxtaposed with modern furnishings for contrast. Balance its ornate detail with minimalist decor to keep the focus on Somov’s artistry.
