"Bathing Women" (French: "Femmes au bain") is a collective term that may refer to a series of paintings by the French Neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) that depict female nudes in various states of repose and bathing activities. Ingres is renowned for his polished and meticulous technique, as well as his fascination with the female form, which he portrayed with an idealized perfection that became one of his artistic hallmarks.

Throughout his career, Ingres produced numerous paintings that explore the theme of the female bather, each work varying in composition, setting, and the number of figures presented. These paintings are characterized by their serene atmosphere, the smoothness of the women's skin, and the sculptural quality of their bodies, which often draw inspiration from classical antiquity and Renaissance masters. Ingres's treatment of the female nude was both celebrated and criticized for its sensuality and the liberties he took with anatomical realism to achieve a more harmonious and elegant line.

One of the most notable works within this theme is "The Turkish Bath" (Le Bain Turc, 1862), which is a late work by Ingres and depicts a group of nude women in the intimate setting of a Turkish bath. This painting, in particular, is celebrated for its circular composition and the intricate interplay of figures, light, and space. It is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The "Bathing Women" works by Ingres are significant in the history of art for their influence on later artists and their contribution to the evolution of the portrayal of the female nude in Western art. They encapsulate Ingres's dedication to classical ideals while also highlighting his unique approach to form and his ability to infuse sensuality into his subjects. These paintings continue to be studied for their aesthetic qualities and their complex relationship with the artistic and cultural norms of the 19th century.

Ingres's "Bathing Women" are not only a testament to his skill as a painter but also reflect the changing attitudes towards the nude, the role of women in society, and the artist's personal vision. They remain a subject of scholarly interest and are frequently included in discussions of Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and the development of modern art.
