''Baigneuse'' (also known as ''September Morn'') is an iconic painting by French artist Paul Émile Chabas. Completed in 1912, this artwork gained widespread notoriety and fame in the United States, particularly after an uproar over its display in a Chicago art gallery window in 1913. The painting depicts a young nude woman standing in shallow water, seemingly caught in a moment of innocent bathing as she gazes over her shoulder. The serene and soft impressionist style, combined with the delicate play of light and shadow, captures the ephemeral beauty of the subject and the early morning atmosphere.

Chabas's ''Baigneuse'' became a focal point for discussions on morality, censorship, and the public display of art, reflecting the social tensions of the era. Despite—or perhaps because of—the controversy, the image became immensely popular, with reproductions widely disseminated in various forms, from postcards to calendars. The painting's notoriety was such that it was even parodied and referenced in popular culture of the time.

Paul Chabas (1869–1937) was an accomplished French painter, known for his portraits and nudes that often portrayed young women in idyllic settings. He received numerous awards throughout his career, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1890 and a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1900. ''Baigneuse'' stands as one of his most recognized works, embodying the grace and charm that characterized much of his oeuvre. The painting is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to its enduring appeal and significance in the history of art.
