"The Bather" (French: "La Baigneuse") is a renowned oil painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1870. Bouguereau, known for his classical themes and virtuosic technique, was a dominant figure in the French Academy during the late 19th century. His works often depicted mythological themes, women, and children with a polished realism that was admired by traditionalists and criticized by the emerging avant-garde.

"The Bather" exemplifies Bouguereau's skill in rendering the human figure and his penchant for idealized beauty. The painting portrays a young woman at the moment of emerging from a bath, capturing the delicate play of light and shadow on her skin. The subject's pose and the soft, diffused lighting contribute to the work's sensuous and serene atmosphere, while the meticulous attention to detail reflects the artist's academic training.

Measuring approximately 55.2 inches by 31.5 inches, the painting is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of the female form and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of grace and elegance. "The Bather" is often highlighted as a prime example of Bouguereau's artistry and his contribution to the academic tradition, which emphasized technical precision and classical motifs.

As with many of Bouguereau's paintings, "The Bather" was well-received in his time, appealing to the tastes of the bourgeoisie and the conservative art establishment. Today, the painting is considered an important work in Bouguereau's oeuvre and is studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 19th-century French art. It remains a subject of interest for both art historians and the general public, and it is frequently exhibited in museums and galleries that showcase academic art from the period.
