"Bathers or Two Nude Women" (French: "Les Baigneuses" or "Deux femmes nues") is a notable painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created around 1858. The work is emblematic of Courbet's realist style, which was revolutionary in the mid-19th century for its unidealized depiction of the human form and everyday life. The painting features two nude women, one standing and the other sitting, in a natural landscape. The composition is marked by a candid portrayal of the female body, devoid of the mythological or allegorical contexts that were common in the nudes of earlier academic art.

Courbet's approach to the subject matter was part of a broader challenge to the established art conventions of his time. He sought to depict the world around him with honesty and directness, often choosing subjects that were considered mundane or even vulgar by the standards of the Paris Salon. "Bathers or Two Nude Women" reflects this ethos, presenting the figures with a sense of individuality and realism that was largely absent from the idealized forms popular among Courbet's contemporaries.

The painting's reception at the time of its creation was mixed, with some critics praising its technical prowess and emotional depth, while others condemned it for what they perceived as its lack of decorum and its challenge to traditional aesthetics. Today, the work is recognized as an important precursor to modern art movements, such as impressionism and post-impressionism, and it is celebrated for its contribution to the development of realism in art. "Bathers or Two Nude Women" remains a significant work in Courbet's oeuvre and in the history of 19th-century French painting, often studied for its radical departure from the norms of the era and for its influence on subsequent generations of artists.
