"After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself" (French: "Après le Bain, Femme S'essuyant") is a pastel drawing by French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1895 as part of a series of similar works. This particular piece, often referred to as "After the Bath VI" due to its place within the series, showcases Degas's masterful use of pastels to capture the intimate moment of a woman drying herself after a bath. The artwork is a testament to Degas's interest in the movement and form of the human body, as well as his innovative approach to composition and perspective.

The "After the Bath" series, to which this artwork belongs, is characterized by its candid and often voyeuristic portrayal of women in private, unguarded moments. Degas's depictions deviate from the idealized female form typical of the era, instead presenting a more realistic and personal view of his subjects. The series includes a variety of media, such as pastels, oils, and prints, and demonstrates Degas's evolving style and technique throughout his career.

In "After the Bath VI," the viewer is presented with a close-up, cropped view of a woman seated on white drapery, her body twisted as she reaches behind to dry her back with a towel. The composition's tight framing and the off-center positioning of the figure give the work a sense of immediacy and modernity. Degas's use of pastels allows for a rich interplay of colors and textures, capturing the softness of the skin and the fabric with both precision and a sense of fluidity.

This artwork is part of a broader context of Degas's studies of dancers, bathers, and laundresses, which explore themes of labor, leisure, and the private lives of women. "After the Bath VI" is not only a reflection of Degas's personal artistic interests but also an example of the broader Impressionist movement's fascination with modern life and the changing roles of women in society.

The piece is held in high regard for its technical brilliance and its contribution to the understanding of the human form in art. It continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the oeuvre of one of the most important artists of the 19th century. As with other works in the series, "After the Bath VI" has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world and is considered a significant work in the history of Western art.
