"After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself" (French: "Après le Bain, Femme s'essuyant") is a pastel drawing by French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1885 as part of a series of similar works. This particular piece is one of the numerous studies by Degas exploring the theme of bathing, a subject that preoccupied him throughout his career. The work depicts a woman in the intimate act of drying herself after a bath, a moment of private ritual captured with a candid and unidealized realism that is characteristic of Degas's approach to the female form.

The drawing is executed with the artist's masterful use of pastels, showcasing his ability to convey texture, light, and the subtleties of the human body. Degas's compositions often feature unusual viewpoints and cropped figures, which in this case, emphasize the spontaneity and fleeting nature of the scene. The model's pose is both naturalistic and carefully structured, reflecting Degas's interest in movement and his background in classical figure drawing.

"After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself" is part of a broader context of Degas's work that includes paintings, drawings, and sculptures, all focusing on the daily lives of women, particularly dancers, laundresses, and bathers. These works are celebrated for their innovative composition and the artist's exploration of color and form. Degas's bathers series, in particular, has been interpreted as a means for the artist to examine the female body from an analytical perspective, devoid of the mythological or historical contexts often seen in the academic art of his time.

This artwork is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of modern art and is considered a prime example of Degas's skill in pastel drawing. It remains a significant example of Impressionist art, despite Degas's own ambivalent relationship with the Impressionist movement. "After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself" continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its insightful, sensitive portrayal of an ordinary moment infused with grace and beauty.
