The Coiffure 1891

"The Coiffure" is a drypoint etching by American artist Mary Cassatt, created in 1891. The artwork depicts a woman in a simple, intimate setting, likely her bedroom, as she arranges her hair. The composition is characterized by Cassatt's signature use of loose, expressive lines and a soft, delicate palette. The subject matter and style are characteristic of Cassatt's work, which often focused on the domestic lives of women, particularly mothers and children.
