Pierre Auguste Renoir concluded Young Girl Combing her Hair 2 in 1894. This artwork depicts an intimate scene of a woman taking care of her hair. The artist is very well known for his modern way of painting ordinary women in a nonidealized way. With a warm and neutral color palette, Renoir painted this peaceful scene from the every-day life.
During the 1880s, the painter headed towards a more traditional style of working, opposing his Impressionist colleagues. Renoir was one of the founders of this alternative movement, which went against the imposed standards of the Classic Academies. The painter went to Italy to study artists of the Renaissance, like Raphael, causing an impact on his production. Renoir began focusing on form, volume, and representing figures in a more realistic manner. He also worked with a structured base drawing, giving attention to the composition.
Renoir eventually went back to his original Impressionistic style, but now with gained knowledge of techniques of past masters, creating a beautiful blend of classic and modern painting. In Young Girl Combing her Hair 2, his unique approach to painting is visible, as the figure is portrayed with much precision, as a Classical artist would paint. The background, on the other hand, is loose and painted with visible brush strokes. Renoir’s main subjects after the 1890s were domestic scenes and nudes, as he turns back to his earlier style.
During these times of transit, the painter was always faithful to his essence as an artist. As a painter of the modern times, Renoir rarely chose to depict biblical or mythological stories, preferring motifs of the ordinary every-day life. This can be seen as an influence from the Japanese art that the Impressionists admired. These artworks done in woodcut prints were aesthetically different than the art being produced in Europe, which grasped the attention of the new generation of painters. The common subjects of the Japanese art can be seen as an influence on Renoir and his love for paintings that grasp this idea. In Young Girl Combing her Hair 2, the model wears a simple white blouse that falls down her shoulders. She tilts her head and combs her long, ginger hair, while her eyes seem to look into a mirror.
