Repos au bain 1888

Theodoros Ralli's "Repos au bain" (1888) is a realist painting that depicts a woman resting in a bath. The woman is seated on a stool, her head resting on her arm, and her body is exposed. In the background, a woman enters through an arched doorway, carrying a pitcher, perhaps for the bath. The scene is set in a simple, domestic space, with the tile floor, tiled walls, and a simple water fountain adding to the quiet atmosphere. The painting's intimate setting and focus on the woman's body create a sense of privacy and introspection. Ralli's careful attention to detail and realism lend a sense of authenticity to the scene.
