Painting Description
"The Coiffure" (study) is a pastel drawing by American artist Mary Cassatt, created in 1890-1891. This work is a preparatory study for a larger print of the same name and is part of a series that Cassatt produced during a period when she was heavily influenced by Japanese printmaking. The piece depicts a woman fixing her hair with a comb, a moment of everyday intimacy that is characteristic of Cassatt's focus on the private lives of women.
Cassatt, who lived much of her life in France and was associated with the Impressionist movement, was known for her portrayal of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the bonds between mothers and children. However, "The Coiffure" reflects a different aspect of her work, one that captures the solitary, contemplative moments of a woman's daily routine.
The study measures 25.4 x 35.6 cm and is held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It showcases Cassatt's skillful use of pastels, a medium she mastered alongside her painting and printmaking practices. The composition, with its close cropping and unusual viewpoint, shows the influence of Japanese ukiyo-e prints, which Cassatt and her contemporaries greatly admired for their bold designs and perspectives.
"The Coiffure" (study) is an important work within Cassatt's oeuvre as it highlights her experimentation with technique and her ongoing interest in capturing the essence of feminine experience. The study, along with the final print, is often discussed in the context of Cassatt's contribution to the graphic arts and her role in bringing the aesthetics of Japanese art to the attention of Western audiences.
