Woman Combing Her Hair

"Woman Combing Her Hair" by Edgar Degas exemplifies his mastery within the Impressionism movement. As a renowned French artist known for his Pastel works and oil paintings, Degas often depicted intimate, everyday scenes. This painting highlights his interest in the human form, reminiscent of Nude painting (nu), though it features a clothed woman. The piece captures a private moment with loose, expressive brushwork, emphasizing light and movement—hallmarks of Impressionist style—creating a lively, natural portrayal of a woman brushing her hair.
