Baigneuses (1re grande planche)

Fantin-Latour, Henri, 1836-1904 · 1881

Two naked young women are seated against the dark greenery. The one on the right, seen from the front, wipes her breast with the end of the drapery on which she sits. Her companion next to her is seen from behind and wrapped in white and dark draperies. There is narrow thinning and other greenery on the right and a meadow landscape and tall trees on the left. The sky is dim and marked with highlights made from the scraper. In the foreground is the water.
