Dodo Arranging Her Hair

About this work

This etching depicts a woman standing in front of a mirror, her back turned to the viewer. She is engaged in arranging her hair, her right arm raised as she works on her coiffure. The mirror behind her reflects her face, while her body is shown in profile. The background of the etching is a mottled brown, with darker spots scattered throughout. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her weight shifted onto one leg. Her hair is styled in a loose, curly fashion, and she appears to be concentrating on her task. The mirror's reflection shows her face in profile, with her eyes cast downward. This etching is reminiscent of the works of Kirchner, Ernst Ludwig.
