EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel print by Edgar Degas, titled "Woman combing her hair" transports us back to the late 19th century. The artist's mastery of impressionism is evident in his delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of color. In this intimate scene, a nude woman sits on a chair with her back turned towards us, engrossed in the act of combing her long hair. Degas captures the quiet intensity of this everyday moment, as she carefully tends to her locks. The composition is beautifully balanced, with the woman's graceful posture and flowing hair creating a sense of movement within the frame. The soft lighting adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its timeless appeal. Degas' fascination with depicting women engaged in private rituals is well-known, and "Woman combing her hair" exemplifies his ability to capture these intimate moments with sensitivity and elegance. This particular print can be found at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. Its inclusion in their collection speaks to its artistic significance and enduring appeal. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of our own personal routines and rituals that connect us across time and cultures - moments like combing our hair that transcend boundaries and remind us of our shared humanity.
