The painting displays his characteristic focus on the female figure, often featuring models with flowing, copper-toned hair and a sense of quiet introspection. The subject is captured in a private moment, engaged in the act of grooming, which allows the artist to explore textures and light across the hair and the fabric of the blouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRossetti frequently utilised his models to embody specific aesthetic ideals. The composition is tight, focusing on the upper torso and head, which draws attention to the facial features and the decorative objects placed on the table. The inclusion of these items, such as the small vessels, adds a layer of domestic detail that contrasts with the dreamlike quality of the subject. The colour palette is dominated by warm, golden tones, which Rossetti used to create a sense of physical presence and sensory appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work shows the artist's move away from the strict naturalism of his early career toward a more subjective, symbolic style. The brushwork is soft, blending colours to create a smooth transition across the skin and hair. This approach reflects the aesthetic concerns of the mid-Victorian era, where the depiction of beauty and mood took precedence over narrative clarity. The painting remains a clear example of Rossetti's ability to construct a self-contained world within the frame, inviting the viewer to observe a moment of stillness. By focusing on the tactile qualities of the hair and the reflective surface of the mirror, Rossetti creates a composition that is both intimate and carefully staged for visual effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/stages-of-cruelty-ford-madox-brown\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStages of Cruelty - Ford Madox Brown — Ford Madox Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-shrine-john-william-waterhouse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Shrine - John William Waterhouse — John William Waterhouse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dante Gabriel Rossetti","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58877660397903,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58877676028239,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58877676061007,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Woman-Combing-Her-Hair_Poster_CompositorV1_1790314594931.jpg?v=1790315962","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/woman-combing-her-hair-dante-gabriel-rossetti","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
