"Elles: Woman Combing Her Hair" is a notable lithograph created by the French painter and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the late 19th century. This work is part of a series titled "Elles," produced in 1896, which consists of lithographs depicting the private lives of women, particularly those working in brothels. Toulouse-Lautrec was known for his candid portrayals of Parisian nightlife and the demimonde, often frequenting the Montmartre district, which provided him with much of his subject matter.

The "Elles" series is significant as it represents a departure from the typical objectification of women in art, instead offering a more empathetic and nuanced view of their lives. In "Woman Combing Her Hair," Toulouse-Lautrec captures an intimate moment, focusing on the solitary act of grooming. The composition is characterized by the artist's distinctive use of line and his ability to convey texture and movement, as seen in the subject's flowing hair and the rhythmic strokes of the comb.

The lithograph showcases Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery of the medium, with its subtle gradations of tone and strategic use of color, which was limited to a few shades to emphasize form and mood. The work is emblematic of the Post-Impressionist movement, of which Toulouse-Lautrec was a part, and it reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, as evidenced by the flat areas of color and the emphasis on contour lines.

"Woman Combing Her Hair" and the "Elles" series as a whole were initially commissioned by the art dealer and publisher Gustave Pellet, who was a great supporter of Toulouse-Lautrec's work. The series was met with critical acclaim and contributed to the artist's reputation as a skilled lithographer and a compassionate observer of the human condition.

Today, "Elles: Woman Combing Her Hair" is considered an important work within Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre and is held in various art collections around the world. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its progressive portrayal of women, offering insight into the complexities of their lives during the Belle Époque era.
