Woman Combing Her Hair is a 1899 oil by Władysław Ślewiński, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a woman sitting on a couch, facing away from the viewer. She has long, red hair that she is combing with her right hand. Her left arm is bent, and her hand is resting on her left knee. The woman is wearing a white, off-the-shoulder dress. The background of the painting is a dark green couch with a light-colored wall behind it. The woman's hair is the focal point of the painting, with the combing motion creating a sense of movement. The dark green couch provides a striking contrast to the woman's light-colored dress. This painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
Władysław Ślewiński (1 June 1856 – 24 March 1918) was a Polish painter. He was one of Gauguin's students and a leading artist of the Young Poland movement.
