Bathers in the Shade of Wooded Banks 1894

"Bathers in the Shade of Wooded Banks" is an 1894 etching by Camille Pissarro, a prominent Impressionist artist known for his depictions of nature and daily life. This artwork, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases Pissarro's mastery of capturing light and shadow through delicate lines and tonal variations. The print features three figures bathed in the dappled light filtering through a thick grove of trees, highlighting the artist's keen observation of nature. The simplicity of the composition and the use of subtle shading evoke a sense of tranquility and intimacy, typical of Pissarro's later works.
