Degas also replaced oil colors with pastels for the painting Woman Combing Her Hair. With this, he gained a greater sense of freedom in drawing and also in the field of colors. The artist dealt a lot with the human figure, but he never wanted to embellish the real image.
The female figure in this painting, with its unusual pose, shows the concentrated power of form and color that Degas achieved in this painting.
