Woman Bathing

The artwork Woman Bathing is a painting, created by an unknown artist between 1724 and 1800. It is currently held at the Hermitage Museum and measures 1.05 meters in width and 1.365 meters in height.

The painting depicts a nude woman stepping into a body of water, possibly a river or stream, while another woman, clothed in a yellow and blue dress, holds a white cloth, perhaps a garment, out to her. The nude woman is adorned with pearls in her hair and looks down at the water, while the clothed woman gazes at her companion. The scene is set in a natural landscape, with trees and foliage surrounding the figures. The use of light and shadow emphasizes the contours of the women's bodies and creates a sense of depth in the composition.
