"A Young Girl-Combing Her Hair" is a small, intimate portrait by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting depicts a young woman in a blue dress, her long hair cascading down her back as she combs it with a thoughtful expression. The oval format of the canvas and the focus on the figure's face create a sense of intimacy, echoing the Pre-Raphaelite emphasis on detail and realism. The painting's current location in a private collection makes it a rare and sought-after work by the artist.
