Le Bain 1923

"Le Bain" (The Bath) is a 1923 lithograph by Pierre Bonnard. The artwork, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, depicts a figure in a bathtub from a high angle, their head bent low in a contemplative pose. Bonnard's signature use of bold lines and cross-hatching gives the piece a sense of depth and emphasizes the intimate, personal nature of the scene. This work captures Bonnard's mastery of capturing the everyday moments of life with evocative detail and subtle nuances of emotion.
