Bather 1891

Berthe Morisot's "Bather" (1891) is a quintessential example of Impressionist painting. The painting depicts a woman in a loose, orange scarf, seated at the edge of a body of water, her figure partially obscured by reeds and foliage. Morisot's signature style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and emphasis on light and color, capturing a fleeting moment in nature. The woman's pose and the gentle atmosphere suggest a peaceful and contemplative mood.
