"Girl Brushing Her Hair" is a 1938 etching by Robert Austin (1895-1973), known for his expressive line work and masterful use of light and shadow. The composition showcases a young woman seated on a bed, her long hair cascading down her back as she brushes it. The intimate scene is underscored by the presence of a Dalmatian dog, adding a touch of domesticity and companionship. This print exemplifies Austin's keen observation of everyday life and his ability to capture fleeting moments of quiet reflection.
