This painting of a woman combing her hair was celebrated in its time for its bold new aesthetic. The style, called “Cloisonnism,” was invented by Anquetin and the artist Emile Bernard. Imitating medieval stained-glass windows and Japanese woodcut prints, Cloisonnism features flat areas of solid color enclosed by dark outlines, such as the green contour that encircles the woman’s smooth white skin. The painting’s modernity also extends to its subject. Although images of women dressing are traditional within European art, the figure’s direct gaze, pronounced makeup, and parted lips are not typical. In the 19th century, these details alluded to the woman’s likely status as a courtesan, a sex worker who catered to upper-class patrons.
