About the piece

Painted in 1893, this late work by Edgar Degas demonstrates his mastery of light and form through increasingly bold colors and textured surfaces. The composition focuses on the physical intimacy of hair-combing, rendered in a striking palette of terracotta and soft greys that creates a warm, grounding atmosphere suitable for sophisticated interiors.
