EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Woman having her hair done" captures a moment from the late 19th to early 20th century. Created by Ferdinand Freih van Reznicek, this artwork showcases the meticulous process of grooming and beautifying oneself during that era. In this image, we see a woman seated in front of an ornate mirror while a hairdresser attends to her tresses. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - she wears a petticoat and other undergarments beneath her elegant dress. Her posture exudes poise and grace as she indulges in this luxurious self-care ritual. The concept behind this artwork speaks volumes about the fin de siècle period, where personal appearance held great importance. Cosmetics, hair products, and elaborate hairstyles were essential elements for women seeking to present themselves with sophistication. Ferdinand Freih van Reznicek skillfully captures not only the physical act of hairstyling but also conveys the occupation of both women involved in this intimate scene - one as a client receiving pampering services and another as a maid fulfilling her professional duties. This remarkable print transports us back to an era when grooming was elevated to an art form. It serves as a testament to how societal norms influenced beauty standards and offers us insight into the lives of women during that time.
