About the piece

Painted in 1889, Christian Krohg’s 'In the Tub' is a quintessential example of European Naturalism. The work captures a quiet moment of family life, elevated by the luminous light streaming through a window that highlights the intricate textures of the figures' clothing and the gentle focus of their interaction.
