Bathing Women, second medium plate 1899

"Bathing Women, second medium plate" (1899) is an etching by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. It depicts two nude women seated in a shadowy, outdoor setting, their forms rendered with delicate detail. The work is known for its subtle use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of intimacy and mystery. This print is a testament to Fantin-Latour's expertise in black and white media, and it exemplifies the popular genre of figure studies in art.
