EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hair washing, illustration from The Works of Hippocrates" takes us back in time to ancient Greece. Created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, this vibrant colour lithograph showcases a scene of hair treatment and care as depicted in the works of Hippocrates. Intriguingly, we witness a female figure delicately attending to another woman's hair. With great precision and expertise, she washes the tresses before wrapping them with a clean and odorless cloth secured by an intricately woven net. This meticulous process highlights the importance placed on cleanliness and hygiene during that era. The setting is reminiscent of a medical scene, with various tools and objects scattered across the table nearby. It offers us a glimpse into the practices employed for curing ailments related to hair health at that time. The presence of hats suggests that head coverings were also utilized for protection or fashion purposes. As we admire this artwork from the private collection of The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with antiquity but also our continuous pursuit of beauty and well-being throughout history.
