Doing Her Hair
1936

Oil painting depicting a nude woman with her back to the viewer, standing in a dimly lit room. She is fixing her hair with both hands, and her pose suggests she is looking into a large mirror on the left. To the right, a long dress hangs on the wall. A disheveled bed is in the foreground, and various items, including a basin and bottles, are scattered on a table beside the mirror. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner.
