Girl Fixing Her Hair is a 1924 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting in front of a mirror, fixing her hair. She is wearing a dark dress and has her hands up, holding her hair back. The background is dark, with some light coming from the left side. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her eyes are looking down. Her hair is dark and curly, and it falls down her back. The mirror in front of her reflects her face and shoulders. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume. Check out more works by George Bellows.
