"Woman Drying Herself" is a pastel drawing by the French artist Edgar Degas, created approximately between 1888 and 1892. This work is part of a series of nudes that Degas produced later in his career, which depict women in various states of undress, engaged in intimate acts of personal grooming. Unlike the idealized nudes of his contemporaries, Degas's figures are often rendered in candid, sometimes awkward poses that reflect the unguarded moments of everyday life.

The drawing features a woman, her back to the viewer, bending forward as she dries herself with a towel. The composition is notable for its dynamic lines and the sense of movement conveyed by the figure's pose. Degas's use of pastels allows for a rich interplay of colors and textures, capturing the softness of the flesh and the roughness of the towel with equal finesse. The work's perspective and the unconventional cropping of the figure demonstrate Degas's interest in photography and Japanese prints, both of which influenced his approach to composition.

As with many of Degas's studies of the nude, "Woman Drying Herself" reflects the artist's exploration of the human form and his dedication to depicting the figure in a modern context. The piece is exemplary of Degas's skill in pastel, showcasing his ability to blend color and form to create a sense of depth and volume. This work is part of a broader shift in the artist's oeuvre, where he moved away from the public spectacles of ballet dancers and racecourses to the private, unobserved moments of women's lives.

"Woman Drying Herself" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its contribution to the development of modernist approaches to the body and the genre of the nude. The drawing is housed in a collection that includes many of Degas's most celebrated works, and it continues to be a subject of study for its aesthetic and historical significance within the context of late 19th-century art.
