"Après le Bain" (English: After the Bath) is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, completed in 1875. This work is one of many in Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre that depicts a moment of innocent beauty and purity, themes for which the artist was renowned during his lifetime. The painting features a young girl who has just emerged from her bath and is drying herself with a towel. The subject's pose and the soft, diffused lighting highlight the delicate modeling of her form, which is rendered with Bouguereau's characteristic smooth brushwork and meticulous attention to detail.

Bouguereau was a prominent figure in the French academic art world of the late 19th century, and his works typically embraced traditional techniques and subjects, often drawing on classical and mythological themes. "Après le Bain" is a fine example of his academic style and his ability to capture the texture of skin and fabric, as well as the play of light and shadow. The painting's composition and the tender representation of youth reflect Bouguereau's skill in combining realism with an idealized aesthetic.

The painting is emblematic of the period's taste for classical beauty and pastoral themes, which stood in contrast to the emerging Impressionist movement that was beginning to challenge the academic norms. Despite the shifts in artistic preferences, Bouguereau's work remained popular among collectors and the art-buying public during his lifetime. "Après le Bain" has been exhibited in various galleries and has been part of private and public collections, contributing to the understanding of 19th-century French art and the broader narrative of European painting.

Today, "Après le Bain" is appreciated not only for its technical mastery but also for its place within the context of art history, as it represents the values and aesthetics of a bygone era. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and craftsmanship, as well as its representation of Bouguereau's artistic legacy.
