"Study For The Bath Of Psyche" is a preparatory work by the renowned British artist Frederick Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton (1830–1896). Leighton was a leading figure in the Victorian art world, known for his association with the Aesthetic Movement and his role as President of the Royal Academy. His works often depicted classical themes, characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, refined composition, and an emphasis on beauty and sensuality.

This particular study is a preliminary exploration for one of Leighton's most celebrated paintings, "The Bath of Psyche," completed in 1890. The final painting portrays the mythological figure Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, in a moment of serene introspection as she prepares to bathe. The myth of Psyche, which originates from Apuleius's "The Golden Ass," tells the story of her trials and ultimate union with Cupid, the god of love.

In "Study For The Bath Of Psyche," Leighton meticulously examines the pose, anatomy, and drapery that would later be refined in the finished work. The study reveals Leighton's process of achieving the idealized form and composition that characterize his oeuvre. Through delicate lines and careful shading, Leighton captures the grace and poise of the figure, emphasizing the classical beauty that he sought to evoke.

The study is significant not only for its connection to the final painting but also as an insight into Leighton's artistic process. It demonstrates his dedication to classical ideals and his skill in rendering the human form with both precision and elegance. Today, "Study For The Bath Of Psyche" is appreciated as a testament to Leighton's artistic legacy and his contribution to the revival of classical themes in Victorian art.
