About the piece

Painted around 1901, this work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir exemplifies the artist's late style, defined by soft edges, fluid brushwork, and a warm, atmospheric glow. The composition focuses on the graceful play of light across the figure's back as she prepares to dry herself after a bath in a natural spring.
