The Coiffure is a 1890 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in front of a mirror, brushing her hair. She is dressed in a white sheet that is draped around her body, and her back is turned towards the viewer. The woman's reflection is visible in the mirror, showing her face and the front of her body. The room is dimly lit, with a soft, warm glow emanating from an unseen source. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment. This painting is characteristic of the Impressionism movement.
