"The Bathers" is an 1873 oil painting by the prominent American artist Winslow Homer. This work is notable for its depiction of two young women wading in the shallows of a serene body of water, capturing a moment of leisure and intimacy with nature. Homer, who is widely regarded for his landscapes and scenes of American life, employs his characteristic realism and attention to light and color in this piece. The painting reflects the post-Civil War era's evolving attitudes towards leisure and the increasing societal acceptance of recreational swimming, particularly for women.

Measuring 24 3/4 x 16 inches (62.9 x 40.6 cm), "The Bathers" is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork showcases Homer's skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey the play of light on water and skin, which would become a recurring theme in his later works. The composition's informal and candid portrayal of the subjects contrasts with the more formal and structured compositions of European academic art of the time, reflecting a distinctly American sensibility.

"The Bathers" is often discussed in the context of Homer's career as a transition point, demonstrating his shift from illustration to painting and foreshadowing his later preoccupation with the sea and water-related themes. The painting is also significant for its exploration of the theme of women in nature, a subject that would gain prominence in the art world towards the end of the 19th century. As such, "The Bathers" is an important work in Homer's oeuvre, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the United States during the latter half of the 19th century.
