A Girl Braiding Her Hair 1883

"A Girl Braiding Her Hair" is an 1883 painting by Russian artist Alexei Korzukhin. The work features a young woman, likely a peasant, dressed in traditional attire, with long flowing hair and a red headband. Her solemn expression and simple composition evoke a sense of quiet beauty and contemplation, capturing the spirit of rural life in 19th-century Russia. This realism and focus on everyday life, combined with the subject's traditional dress, are key elements of the Peredvizhniki movement, of which Korzukhin was a member.
