The Bath 1885 - 1886

"The Bath" is a painting by Berthe Morisot, a leading Impressionist artist, created between 1885 and 1886. The painting captures a young woman in a white dress, seated and arranging her hair after a bath. Morisot's loose brushstrokes and delicate color palette, characteristic of Impressionism, create a sense of intimacy and natural light. The subject's casual pose and simple surroundings reflect the everyday life of women during this period. This intimate portrayal of a woman's private moment exemplifies Morisot's exploration of femininity and domesticity within the Impressionist movement.
