Peasant Girls Bathing in the Sea at Dusk 1875

This pastel painting by Edgar Degas depicts a group of women bathing in the sea at dusk. The Impressionistic style is apparent in the loose brushstrokes and the emphasis on light and atmosphere. The women are depicted in a candid and intimate moment, suggesting a casual and relaxed atmosphere. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the scene, creating a sense of tranquility and beauty. Degas's work is known for its focus on everyday life, and this painting is a testament to his ability to capture the human form in motion.
