Leaving the Bath 1879 - 1880

Edgar Degas's "Leaving the Bath" is a striking example of his late work, created in the late 19th century. The monotype print showcases Degas's signature style, capturing a fleeting moment of a woman emerging from a bath, partially obscured by a flowing white garment. The hazy, indistinct forms and soft, muted tones create an intimate and evocative atmosphere, characteristic of Degas's exploration of the female form in domestic settings. This piece, part of Degas's "Women at Their Toilet" series, exemplifies his fascination with depicting everyday moments and the subtle nuances of human interaction.
