Girl Arranging Her Hair is an 1886 painting by American artist Mary Cassatt.[1] The painting is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington, D.C.[2] Edgar Degas and Cassatt had a complicated relationship; Degas acquired the painting after it was exhibited at the 1886 eighth Impressionist exhibition, and after his death, it was mistakenly identified as his own work.[1]
