Bathing Girls 1862

"Bathing Girls" is a marble sculpture by Danish artist J.A. Jerichau, created in 1862. The sculpture depicts two nude women, one kneeling and the other embracing her from behind. The work is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the human form, as well as its intimate and emotionally charged composition. The sculpture is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The sculpture exemplifies the Neoclassical style popular in the mid-19th century, where artists looked to ancient Greek and Roman art for inspiration.
