"Before The Bath" is a celebrated painting by the Canadian artist Paul Peel, completed in 1890. Peel, born in 1860 in London, Ontario, was a prominent figure in the Canadian art scene during the late 19th century. He is best known for his genre paintings and his skillful portrayal of the human form, particularly children. "Before The Bath" exemplifies his mastery in these areas and remains one of his most recognized works.

The painting depicts two young children, a boy and a girl, standing nude in an interior setting, presumably preparing for a bath. The scene is rendered with a tender realism that captures the innocence and vulnerability of childhood. Peel's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, brings a lifelike quality to the figures, emphasizing their soft skin and delicate features. The composition is intimate, drawing the viewer into a private moment, yet it is executed with a sense of decorum and sensitivity that avoids any sense of impropriety.

"Before The Bath" reflects Peel's academic training and his exposure to European art traditions. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the works of classical and contemporary European artists. This influence is evident in the painting's polished technique and its harmonious balance of color and form.

The painting was well-received during Peel's lifetime and contributed to his reputation as one of Canada's foremost artists. Today, "Before The Bath" is housed in the Art Gallery of Ontario, where it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its poignant depiction of childhood. Paul Peel's legacy endures through this and other works, which remain significant in the canon of Canadian art history.
