Woman Combing her Hair is a 1912 unspecified by Joseph Alanen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts a woman combing her hair, with her right hand holding a comb and her left hand supporting her head. She is dressed in a white shirt and a red scarf, and is seated in front of a window with a striped curtain. The woman's face is blurred, and her features are not clearly defined. The background of the painting is a muted color, with a subtle gradient effect that adds depth to the image. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she combs her hair. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of volume and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and hands.
