Suzanne Valadon's 1908 etching "Woman at Her Bath" depicts a nude woman, standing in a bathtub, while a woman in a long dress helps her with something. This print exemplifies Valadon's talent for capturing the human figure with a unique blend of realism and expressiveness, and is a quintessential example of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in France at the time. This piece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a study in the intimate details of daily life, highlighting the artist's signature bold lines and evocative composition.
