"Bathing" (French: "La Baigneuse") is a painting by French artist Jean-Jacques Henner (1829–1905). Renowned for his use of sfumato and chiaroscuro techniques, Henner often depicted mythological subjects and nudes with a distinctive blend of realism and idealism. This particular work is emblematic of his style, showcasing a solitary female figure engaged in the act of bathing. The painting is notable for its ethereal quality and the soft, diffuse light that bathes the subject, lending an almost dreamlike atmosphere to the scene.

The composition of "Bathing" is centered on the female figure, whose pose and demeanor evoke a sense of introspection and tranquility. Henner's skillful use of light and shadow not only highlights the contours of the body but also creates a sense of depth and volume. The background is typically muted, a characteristic of Henner's work, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the figure herself.

Jean-Jacques Henner was part of the academic tradition, and his work reflects the 19th-century academic art values of beauty and technical precision. While "Bathing" adheres to these principles, it also exhibits a personal and intimate quality that is less common in the grand historical and mythological scenes favored by many of Henner's contemporaries.

The painting is part of Henner's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, religious subjects, and landscapes. His nudes, in particular, are celebrated for their sensuality and the painter's ability to capture the texture of skin. "Bathing" continues to be appreciated for its quiet beauty and is a testament to Henner's mastery of form and light. It remains an important work within the canon of French academic painting and contributes to our understanding of the artistic trends and cultural values of the period in which it was created.
