"Baigneuse S'essuyant" (also known as "Baigneuse S'essuyant les Cheveux" or "Baigneuse, s'essuyant la nuque") is a woodcut print by the Swiss/French artist Félix Vallotton, created in 1894. It is one of Vallotton's most celebrated works and a prime example of his contribution to the woodcut medium, which he helped revitalize during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The print depicts a nude female figure drying her neck with a towel, her body turned away from the viewer, creating a sense of intimacy and private moment captured in time.

As part of the "Intimités" series, a set of ten woodcuts, "Baigneuse S'essuyant" reflects Vallotton's thematic focus on the domestic and private lives of Parisian society, often with a critical or satirical edge. The series is noted for its stark contrasts, simplified forms, and the interplay of light and shadow, which became hallmarks of Vallotton's style and significantly influenced the development of the modern woodcut.

Vallotton's work is characterized by its clean lines and flat areas of color, which owe much to the Japanese ukiyo-e prints that were popular among European artists at the time. His prints, including "Baigneuse S'essuyant," are often noted for their ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through minimalistic and highly stylized imagery.

"Baigneuse S'essuyant" is held in various public collections and continues to be the subject of scholarly interest for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Vallotton's oeuvre and the broader art movements of his time, including Post-Impressionism and the Nabis group, with which he was associated. The print remains an important example of Vallotton's skill in using the woodcut medium to explore the themes of privacy, voyeurism, and the female form.
