"After the Bath" is a series of artworks by the French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917), created in the late 19th century, with the 1898 pastel drawing being one of the most recognized pieces within this body of work. Degas, known for his contributions to Impressionism, often explored the theme of the female form in intimate, everyday settings, and the "After the Bath" series exemplifies this interest. The 1898 work depicts a solitary female figure, likely a bather, in the moments following her bath. The subject is typically shown drying herself or in a state of repose, emphasizing the naturalness and vulnerability of the human body.

Degas's use of pastels in this series allowed him to achieve rich textures and subtle gradations of color, which contribute to the sensuous and tactile quality of the depicted scenes. The composition often plays with perspective and framing, a hallmark of Degas's innovative approach to figure painting. His focus on the candid, unguarded moments of his subjects, rather than idealized or mythologized representations, marked a departure from traditional academic art and aligned with the burgeoning Impressionist movement's focus on modern life and the fleeting moments within it.

The 1898 "After the Bath" is notable for its intimate scale and the immediacy of its execution. Degas's mastery in rendering the human body, his exploration of light and shadow, and his ability to convey texture, all come together in this work to create a sense of presence and immediacy. The artwork is part of a larger context of Degas's fascination with the female form and his broader exploration of themes such as privacy, the act of looking, and the modern Parisian life.

The "After the Bath" series, including the 1898 drawing, has been widely exhibited and discussed in the context of Degas's oeuvre and is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its innovative technique and its contribution to the development of modern art. The works can be found in various museum collections around the world, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic significance and insight into the human condition.
