Bathing Women, third large plate 1896

"Bathing Women, third large plate" is an 1896 etching by the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour. It depicts a group of five women bathing in a wooded setting, with the figure of a woman standing at the forefront and the others seated or reclining in the background. The artwork showcases Fantin-Latour's characteristic mastery of black and white tonality, creating a moody and atmospheric scene. The work is part of a series of etchings based on the theme of bathing women, reflecting the artist's fascination with the human figure and the interplay of light and shadow. It is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
