A woman at the bath, another woman washing her right foot and an old woman behind her holding her clothes 1716

"A Woman at the Bath, Another Woman Washing Her Right Foot and an Old Woman Behind Her Holding Her Clothes" is an engraving by Louis Surugue, created in 1716. The artwork depicts a scene of three women, with the central figure reclining in a bath while another woman washes her foot. An older woman stands behind, holding the central figure's clothes. The scene is set within an oval frame and is characterized by detailed lines and a delicate, almost ethereal feel, typical of French Rococo style engravings. The artwork, which is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into the intimate, domestic lives of women during the 18th century, showcasing the importance of hygiene and personal care.
