Painting Description
"Girl Arranging Her Hair" is an oil painting by the American artist Abbott Handerson Thayer, created in 1887. Thayer, known for his ethereal and idealized depictions of figures, particularly of women and angels, was a prominent figure in American art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This painting is a testament to his fascination with beauty and purity, themes that are recurrent throughout his body of work.
The painting features a young woman, captured in a moment of intimate self-reflection as she arranges her hair. The subject is believed to be Thayer's favorite model at the time, possibly his daughter Mary, who appears in many of his works. The composition is characterized by a soft, diffused light that gently illuminates the figure, lending an almost divine quality to the scene. Thayer's use of light and shadow, along with his delicate brushwork, creates a sense of depth and volume in the woman's hair and clothing, while also contributing to the overall serene and contemplative mood of the piece.
"Girl Arranging Her Hair" is a fine example of Thayer's skill in portraying the delicate interplay between realism and idealism. His work often explored the visual representation of spiritual and angelic beings, and this painting can be seen as a secular counterpart to those themes, capturing the innocence and grace of a young woman in a quiet, everyday moment.
The painting is part of the collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Thayer's artistic legacy. "Girl Arranging Her Hair" remains an important work within the canon of American art, reflecting the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the Gilded Age and the broader context of American Impressionism and Tonalism.
