The Bath 1890

"The Bath" is an 1890 pastel painting by Edgar Degas, renowned for his depictions of dancers and everyday life. The work captures a candid moment, showcasing a woman in a private setting, partially obscured by a curtain and bathed in soft, pastel hues. Degas's signature Impressionist style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and fragmented forms, evokes a sense of spontaneity and intimacy. This piece is now part of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA.
