Bather sitting by the water

Bather sitting by the water, a painting by Paul Cézanne, 1876. 



The artwork depicts a nude male figure seated on the ground, partially obscured by foliage. The bather has a white cloth wrapped around his head. The figure is rendered in Cézanne's characteristic Post-Impressionist style, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on form and structure rather than precise detail. The background consists of lush green foliage, suggesting a natural setting. The painting's palette is muted, with earth tones and greens dominating. The artwork measures 0.21 meters in width and 0.29 meters in height and is part of the Kunstmuseum Basel collection.
