woman having her hair combed. Degas

A woman sits with her head thrown back, nude and opulent in the full morning light, having her hair combed by a maid. The woman's white robe draped over a yellow chaise lounge, and spilling onto the floor to keep her feet warm. The white shape of her robe continuing up behind her in the maid's white skirt.

The nude woman sits straight back, with her hand indented in the flesh at her hip, bracing herself as the comb is pulled through her long hair, with her breasts thrust forward into the light.
