"Woman Washing Herself" is a pastel drawing by French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1886. The work is part of a series of nudes that Degas produced during the latter part of his career, which were notable for their candid and intimate portrayal of women in private, unguarded moments. Unlike the idealized nudes of many of his contemporaries, Degas's depictions focused on the naturalism and spontaneity of the female form, often captured in unconventional poses and perspectives that reflect the influence of Japanese prints and photography on his work.

The drawing depicts a woman in the midst of her toilette, bending over a basin of water as she washes herself. The composition is characterized by its dynamic lines and the contrast between the softness of the pastel and the vigorous movement suggested by the subject's pose. Degas's use of color and light in this piece emphasizes the texture of the woman's skin and the fluidity of water, creating a sense of immediacy and tactile presence.

"Woman Washing Herself" is representative of Degas's exploration of the theme of the female nude, which he revisited throughout his career, often focusing on the daily routines of Parisian women. The work is also indicative of his broader interest in the human figure and movement, themes that permeated his oeuvre, from his studies of dancers to his racehorse scenes.

As with many of Degas's nudes, "Woman Washing Herself" has been the subject of both admiration and controversy. While some have praised the artist's unflinching realism and modern approach to the subject matter, others have critiqued what they perceive as voyeuristic overtones in his portrayal of women in private moments. Nonetheless, the drawing remains an important example of Degas's innovative approach to the genre of the nude and his mastery of pastel as a medium.

The artwork is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be exhibited and studied as a significant piece within the oeuvre of Edgar Degas and the broader context of 19th-century French art.
