"The Bather" (French: "La Baigneuse") is a renowned oil painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1870. Bouguereau, a prominent figure in 19th-century French academic painting, was known for his classical and mythological themes, as well as his realistic portrayal of the human figure. This painting is a quintessential example of his work, showcasing his skill in capturing the delicate beauty of the female form.

The artwork depicts a young woman standing at the edge of a body of water, captured in the act of undressing or dressing. She is portrayed in a serene environment, surrounded by a tranquil landscape that enhances the peaceful and contemplative mood of the scene. The subject's pose and the soft, diffused lighting highlight Bouguereau's mastery of the human anatomy and his ability to render skin tones with exquisite subtlety.

"The Bather" is emblematic of Bouguereau's style, which combined a traditional academic approach with a modern sensitivity to form and atmosphere. His paintings were highly popular during his lifetime, especially among the French bourgeoisie, for their idealized depictions of peasant and mythological subjects. However, his work fell out of favor with the advent of modernist movements that rejected academic art's strict adherence to classical ideals.

Today, "The Bather" is appreciated for its technical prowess and the timeless beauty it captures. It is held in a private collection, but it continues to be exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, contributing to the enduring legacy of William-Adolphe Bouguereau in the history of Western art.
