"Girl Drying Herself" is a pastel drawing by the renowned French artist Edgar Degas, created around 1885-1890. Degas is celebrated for his innovative approach to capturing the human form, particularly in intimate and candid moments. This artwork is part of a series where Degas explored the theme of women engaged in everyday activities, such as bathing and drying themselves, which was a recurring subject in his oeuvre.

The piece depicts a young woman in a private moment, drying herself after a bath. Degas's use of pastel allows for a soft yet vibrant depiction of the human skin, capturing the subtleties of light and shadow. The composition is both intimate and dynamic, with the figure positioned in a way that suggests movement and fluidity. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and form are evident in the delicate rendering of the towel and the woman's skin.

Degas's interest in such scenes was partly influenced by the changing social norms of the time, as well as the rise of photography, which encouraged artists to explore new perspectives and compositions. His work often blurs the line between voyeurism and observation, inviting viewers to witness private moments without intrusion.

The artwork is notable for its modernity and the way it challenges traditional representations of the female nude. Instead of idealizing the figure, Degas presents a more realistic and unembellished view, emphasizing the natural beauty of the human body. This approach was both innovative and controversial during his time.

"Girl Drying Herself" is housed in the collection of the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, Connecticut. The piece exemplifies Degas's mastery of pastel and his ability to capture the essence of a moment, making it a significant work within his body of work and the broader context of 19th-century art.
