Hairdressing

In a tall interior lit by a large window, a woman stands behind a seated man, trimming his hair with scissors and a comb, while a second woman beside the window holds a small bowl and brush to his face. In the foreground a young woman sits with her back to them, absorbed in a book, beside a jar of violets.

Daylight from the tall window silhouettes the standing figures and washes the room in soft grays and ochres, while the man's patterned cape adds a burst of broken color. Brushwork loosens on the clothing and tightens on the faces, and the quiet, everyday moment reads as calm and unhurried.
