Nymphs Bathing 1586 - 1630

"Nymphs Bathing" is a drawing by Italian artist Marcantonio Bassetti, dating to the early 17th century. The drawing depicts a scene of nude female figures bathing in a wooded setting, showcasing Bassetti's mastery of the human form and the use of light and shadow. The work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a small but powerful example of the Italian Renaissance tradition of drawing and the depiction of the classical myth of nymphs.
