"Woman Bathing" is a bronze sculpture by Aimé-Jules Dalou, completed sometime between 1865 and 1907. The sculpture, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts a nude female figure seated on a rock, delicately tending to her foot. The work is a classic example of the Realist movement, with Dalou's emphasis on naturalistic detail and the everyday subject matter, highlighting the beauty of the human form. The sculpture’s realistic depiction of the female figure and the intricate details of the rocky base emphasize the beauty and complexity of the human form.
