Male and Female Bathers 

"Male and Female Bathers" is a small watercolor by French artist Alfred Grévin, created sometime during his career between 1827 and 1892. The artwork depicts a man and a woman swimming in the sea. The woman's head, wearing a red cap, is barely visible above the water, while the man's face and shoulders are more prominent. This intimate and whimsical depiction of bathers likely reflects Grévin's interest in capturing everyday life in the 19th century, creating a snapshot of social activities of the time. The artwork is executed in a loose and expressive style, employing washes of color to suggest the movement of the water.
