Barbierszene is a 1650 by Unknown, depicting Hairstyle, held at Art Collection of the University Göttingen.
This drawing shows five people in a dim, rocky space. One man stands bent over, holding another’s head while a woman kneels beside him. To the right, a man in a green coat sits reading, and a child lies on the ground nearby. The walls are rough stone, and a few scattered tools and fabrics are on the floor. The man being attended to looks like he’s getting a haircut—his hair is pulled back, and the standing man’s posture suggests he’s trimming it. The scene feels like a quiet moment in daily life, not a grand event. If you like this kind of close-up, everyday scene, look up hairstyle in old drawings to see how artists showed small details like this.
