A hairdresser stands on stilts to dress the hair of a lady who sits before her mirrored vanity, her fee outstretched and resting on a foot stool. He pulls her long hair high above her head to its full length is taut as he twists to style it. She holds the sides of her head in pain. His coat is tossed on the chair to the left. On her vanity are a pin cushion, bottles, and ribbons. The mirror is supported but two female figures in classical dress and adorned with two cherubs at the top who hold a laurel wreath
