EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intimate self-care as a woman delicately arranges her hair, possibly in the late 1880s or 1890s. Created by the renowned artist Edgar Degas, this piece showcases his mastery in capturing everyday moments with an artistic touch. Degas, known for his realist style and keen observation of human form, brings forth the beauty and grace in this simple act of grooming. The woman's long hair cascades down her back as she stands before us, her nakedness symbolizing vulnerability and authenticity. With meticulous attention to detail, Degas sculpts this scene using pigmented beeswax on a metal armature with clay and cork elements. The artwork exudes a sense of hygiene and health during a time when cleanliness was becoming increasingly valued. As part of the 19th-century artistic movement, Degas' work reflects both the changing societal norms and his own fascination with capturing fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. Now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this piece is not just an exquisite representation of female beauty but also serves as a testament to Degas' legacy as one of France's most celebrated artists. It invites viewers to appreciate the artistry behind everyday actions while immersing themselves in the rich heritage art has to offer.
