Bathing Nymph 1633 - 1691

"Bathing Nymph" is an oil painting by Flemish artist Francois Verwilt, created between 1633 and 1691. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a nude nymph bathing in a small pool, surrounded by lush vegetation and a rocky outcropping. The scene is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the beauty of nature, which was a popular theme in 17th-century Dutch art. The painting's small size, 25 cm by 33 cm, suggests it was likely a private commission, perhaps intended for a collector's cabinet.
