About the piece

Painted in 1888, this oil on canvas by Pierre-Auguste Renoir exemplifies his late-century mastery of the female form. The subject is immersed in dappled water, rendered with a vibrant palette of blues and golds that creates a sense of shifting light and movement characteristic of the Impressionist style.
