Product description
A soft, muted stillness permeates the scene as light catches the granular texture of pastel on paper. In this intimate study, the curve of the figure’s back is defined by a masterly interplay of ochre and burnt sienna, set against a backdrop of hazy blues and shimmering gold. This print captures the tactile quality of the medium, showcasing how the artist used vigorous, hatch-like strokes to build volume and light.
About Edgar Degas
Degas is best known for ballet dancers, painted rehearsing and resting as often as performing. He worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. Impressionist paintings use visible brushstrokes and soft colour that feel bright and airy on a wall. The original dates from 1886.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
The drawn style and blue, yellow and gold palette of this Edgar Degas print feel at home in modern and traditional interiors alike. Choose 24×36″ to make “After the Bath Woman Drying Herself” the focal point above a console, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “After the Bath Woman Drying Herself” with a black or antique-gold frame: its blue, yellow and gold palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
