Woman with Loose Red Hair 1898

"Woman with Loose Red Hair" is a pastel on paper artwork by Edgar Degas, created in 1898. Degas is known for his depictions of dancers and women, capturing their movement and grace. This piece showcases a woman in a red dress, her hair cascading down her back, with a sense of soft and flowing movement. The loose brushstrokes and pastel hues contribute to the work's ethereal quality, characteristic of Degas' later style. This painting, currently in a private collection, exemplifies Degas' mastery of pastels and his unique artistic vision, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation in the subject's pose.
