Painting Description
"Woman Combing Her Hair II" is a pastel drawing by the French artist Edgar Degas, created in the late 19th century, which exemplifies his continuous exploration of the theme of women engaged in personal grooming. Degas, renowned for his contributions to Impressionism and celebrated for his depictions of dancers, also frequently portrayed women in intimate, everyday moments, often in the privacy of their boudoirs. This work is part of a series in which Degas studied the motion and form of the female figure through the act of combing hair, a mundane yet personal ritual.
The drawing showcases Degas's mastery of pastels, a medium he favored for its ability to blend color and create soft textures, which was well-suited to capturing the nuances of human flesh and the subtleties of light. In "Woman Combing Her Hair II," Degas employs his characteristic loose, yet deliberate strokes, imbuing the scene with a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. The composition is marked by an unusual vantage point and cropping, hallmarks of Degas's innovative approach to figure painting, which often drew inspiration from the asymmetry and off-center framing found in contemporary photography and Japanese prints.
The artwork reflects Degas's interest in the isolation of figures and the psychological depth of solitary moments. The woman, absorbed in her routine, is depicted with her back to the viewer, her head slightly tilted as she combs through her hair. The choice of pose and the lack of engagement with the viewer create an air of detachment, inviting contemplation on the private nature of the subject's activity.
"Woman Combing Her Hair II" is representative of Degas's later works, where his fascination with the human form and his experiments with composition and color harmonies converged to produce images that are both intimate and evocative. The piece is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its contribution to the understanding of Degas's thematic and stylistic development. It remains an important work within the oeuvre of Edgar Degas and continues to be studied for its aesthetic and historical significance in the context of late 19th-century art.
