Hairdressing
Utamaro's women are slightly stylized and do not strike us as particular people drawn from life but as types of women drawn from imagination. Although the color is light and simple, the lines tell us everything we need to know, they describe the faces we see, the robes, hair, and the folds.
EDGAR DEGAS
Nude Woman Having Her Hair Combed
Edgar Degas works in a naturalistic style. The woman seems like a particular person, probably a model who posed for him in his studio. Faint lines describe the contours of her body and the chair she sits on, but these lines do not have a life of their own, as in the japanese work. The woman's body is very finely observed, whereas the outer area of the image is treated freely.
The similarities between the two images shown above is that they show the simplicity of a woman having her hair combed in their own style. The difference is that their style is different, Degas is more of a naturalistic artist yet Utamaro is more of imagination.
