EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Nude Woman Drying Herself; Femme nues essuyant" created in 1895. The artwork, composed of pastel and charcoal on toned paper laid down on canvas, measures 49.8x32.1 cm and is part of a private collection. Degas, a renowned French artist from the nineteenth century, was known for his impressionistic style that beautifully captured everyday scenes and activities. In this particular piece, he skillfully portrays the difficulty involved in personal hygiene as the nude woman dries herself. The impressionist artistry shines through as Degas captures the essence of female beauty with delicate strokes and subtle tones. The pastel drawing depicts an active moment where the woman is seated while looking down attentively at her drying process. The composition emphasizes her full-length figure with great attention to detail - from her posture to facial expression - showcasing Degas' mastery in capturing human form and expression. Mounted on canvas, this artwork invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its intimate portrayal of a solitary woman engaged in physical activity within her own space. It serves as a testament to Degas' ability to convey emotion through his brushwork while maintaining a sense of realism. Overall, this late nineteenth-century piece by Edgar Degas offers an intriguing glimpse into daily life during that era while highlighting the timeless beauty found within ordinary moments.
