This work is often celebrated for its depiction of a young woman in a moment of serene contemplation, embodying the idyllic and romantic qualities characteristic of Cot's style. The painting showcases Cot's mastery of the Academic painting tradition, with its polished technique, attention to detail, and use of light to enhance the sensuality and innocence of the subject.

The composition of "A Bather" features the subject in a natural setting, capturing the interplay of light and shadow through the foliage, which frames the figure and accentuates the softness of her skin. The bather is typically shown seated on the edge of a body of water, her gaze averted, which adds to the sense of intimacy and private reverie. The work's color palette is rich and vibrant, further emphasizing the romantic and dreamlike quality of the scene.

Pierre Auguste Cot (1837–1883) was a student of the famous French painters William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Alexandre Cabanel, and his work is often associated with the academic art movement of the late 19th century.
