Painting Description
"Naked Woman Bathing" (also known as "Femme nue se lavant") is a pastel drawing by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1884-1886. This work is part of a series of nudes that Degas produced during the latter part of his career, which marked a significant departure from his earlier themes of ballet dancers and horse racing. The piece is notable for its intimate and candid portrayal of the female form, a subject that Degas explored with increasing frequency and intensity during this period.
The drawing depicts a solitary female figure engaged in the act of bathing, a motif that Degas revisited repeatedly, capturing the natural and unguarded moments of women's private lives. The composition is characterized by its loose and expressive pastel strokes, which convey the texture of the woman's skin and the softness of the surroundings. Degas's use of color and light in this work is particularly striking, as he employs a warm palette to highlight the curves and contours of the body, while also creating a sense of depth and dimensionality.
"Naked Woman Bathing" is considered an important example of Degas's innovative approach to the nude, which challenged traditional academic standards of idealized beauty and composition. Instead, Degas sought to represent the human figure with a sense of realism and immediacy, often working from life models and employing unconventional viewpoints and cropping to enhance the sense of spontaneity.
The drawing is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Degas's work. As with many of Degas's nudes, "Naked Woman Bathing" continues to be the subject of scholarly interest, particularly in discussions of the artist's technique, the representation of women in art, and the evolution of modernist aesthetics at the end of the 19th century.
