"Woman Drying Herself" is a pastel drawing by the French artist Edgar Degas, created approximately between 1890 and 1895. This work is part of a series of nudes that Degas produced later in his career, which depict women in various states of undress, engaging in mundane activities such as bathing, drying themselves, or combing their hair. Unlike the idealized nudes of earlier art history, Degas's subjects are often portrayed in candid, unglamorous moments, captured as if through an uninvited gaze.

The drawing features a woman, her back to the viewer, bending forward as she dries her back with a towel. The composition is notable for its dynamic lines and the sense of movement conveyed by the figure's posture. Degas's use of pastels allows for a rich interplay of colors and textures, emphasizing the tactile quality of the woman's skin and the fabric of the towel. The work's intimate scale and close cropping, characteristic of Degas's approach to figure painting, create an immediacy that draws the viewer into the private moment.

"Woman Drying Herself" reflects Degas's fascination with the human form and his innovative approach to composition, which was influenced by photography and Japanese prints. The piece is also a testament to his mastery of pastels, a medium that he pushed to new expressive heights. This artwork is part of a broader conversation about the representation of the female body in art and the voyeuristic nature of the male gaze, themes that continue to resonate in contemporary discussions of gender and visual culture.

As with many of Degas's works, "Woman Drying Herself" is celebrated for its contribution to the development of Impressionism and modern art. It is held in high regard for its technical brilliance and its complex interplay of form, color, and narrative. The drawing can be found in the collection of a major museum, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and its insight into the private, everyday lives of women at the turn of the 20th century.
